Piscine Global: this is why you should attend the exhibition

From 15 to 18 November, pool market entrepreneurs and professionals from around the world will be gathering at Lyon Eurexpo for the Piscine Global exhibition. Are you (still) wondering if you should come? In the next few lines, our French and international “ambassadors” will explain why Piscine Global is undoubtedly the event you cannot afford to miss! http://www.piscine-expo.com/

In a nutshell: to obtain a comprehensive overview of the market

All professionals, irrespective of their activity sector, will agree on this: if you constantly keep your nose to the grindstone, you risk losing your complete overview of your market. This is exactly what attending Piscine Global prevents from happening, as Austrian CEO Mr Wurth confirms: “To manage a company efficiently, it is important to always have a good view of the market. This is what Piscine Global in Lyon has been providing us for many years. (…) Every time I visit this exhibition, I discover interesting new products and find a wealth of information.

To meet a huge number of exhibitors

One of Piscine Global’s strengths is the fact that nearly 600 exhibitors from the pool and spa sector will be in attendance to discuss their products and services, latest innovations and new releases with fellow professionals.

So it is a great opportunity to develop a comprehensive offering, as Croatian freelance journalist Sandra Gjac explains: “What I like at this exhibition is the wide variety of exhibitors who cover all the aspects of pools. It is also the place where the latest pool-related innovations are presented, the place to be to tap into the latest trends and meet manufacturers. It also provides an opportunity to network, with meetings and presentations geared toward professionals”.

To maintain quality relations with customers and suppliers

Piscine Global has been bringing together most of the major suppliers and the main customers in the pool industry under the same roof for many years. That makes it the perfect place to maintain your network, sign new contracts or simply to discuss potential business opportunities.

Mr Wurth, an Austrian pool builder, couldn’t agree more: “We also attend Piscine Global to maintain and enhance our relations with our suppliers and customers, with whom we have been working for many years. And of course the added bonus is that the exhibition takes place in the beautiful city of Lyon!”

To discover new products and the latest trends

Piscine Global provides a comprehensive overview of the market, a wealth of suppliers and plentiful business opportunities. The exhibition is considered the place to be to discover the latest market trends before everyone else, as Danish CEO Mr Andersen, and Israeli Managing Director Mr Oz are more than willing to assert.

“Piscine Global is the place to discover this sector’s new products and latest trends”, assures the former; “Piscine Global is a great opportunity to discover new product ranges, the latest innovations and hitherto unseen technologies”, confirms the latter.
For international visitors, Piscine Global is also an opportunity to see how the French perceive this very specific market, where luxury and leisure are intermingled, and to meet suppliers who do not necessarily operate on their local markets. “You have to come to Lyon to see what the French pool market has to offer”, agrees Mr Leever, from the Netherlands. “You’ll find the main international companies but also others that we don’t find on the German market.”

In a nutshell…

Mr Balog (Russia) probably offers the best summary of what international exhibition visitors think: “Piscine Global has established itself as one of the most important international exhibitions for our sector. It is worth mentioning that nearly 90% of visitors at the previous edition of the exhibition want to come back this year, and that’s quite something! In the past few years, the Russian pool market has undergone profound changes: Piscine Global has enabled us to benefit from the experiences of our foreign counterparts and advice from international company executives with regard to the upcoming trends to expect. (…) It is also an opportunity for Russian contractors to negotiate contracts on neutral ground and to play one supplier against another.”
