The Sign Africa Cape Town expo, which took place from 15-16 May at the CTICC, not only attracted visitors from all around the Western Cape but also areas such as Windhoek, Klerksdorp, Port Nolloth, Johannesburg, Durban, Maputo, Dakar and more.
The 1380 visitors who attended were inspired by the latest technologies and trends in printing, branding, T-shirt printing, vehicle graphics, direct to film and garment solutions, laser engraving, digital label printing and other cutting edge technology. The event was sponsored by Roland DG South Africa and Stixo Signage Supplies.
Exhibitor Feedback:
‘The Cape Town show was very interesting. I managed to source a few people who are interested in marketing my product here – they were very keen. The quality of the show and visitors was brilliant,’ said Chris Mack, MacQuip and Screenwise.
‘It was well attended and there were a lot of people at the show. It seems to be growing slightly again, and people seem to be getting confidence back in the whole industry,’ said Dirk Vogt, Colorscreen.
‘We had an incredible show. It was well attended. We saw a lot of new and old customers that have re-embraced our brand. Our distributors are out there doing a good job for us. We were fortunate enough to showcase all three of our product lines, including reflective, graphics and tapes. We had great feet through the show and we are looking forward to a much better environment in Cape Town. Our new branch is open,’ said Clive Versfeld, ORAFOL South Africa.
‘It was very well attended and very well organised. We got a lot of leads from the show, and we’re hoping to turn that into money this year,’ said Derek Cannell, Midcomp.
‘We had solid leads and we had people come through who said they were going to attend the show. So it’s been very good for us. I’m hoping to get some good sales out of this show,’ said George Rosa, Imagemed.
