Over the years, Motofil has been strengthening its presence on the Latin America market, trying to achieve to more people and get more partnerships.

With this goal in mind, Motofil was present in the 13th Expometálica, from the 4th to 6th of October, in Medellín, Colombia, after its participation in the last year edition.

This trade show is considered to be the greatest in the metalworking sector, hardware and shipyard in that country.

To demonstrate its productive capacity, Motofil came up with a stand of 50 m² and brought to this event a 4m Monoblock robotized cell.

Paula Tavares, the sales representative in Colombia refers that “Motofil’s presence in EXPOMETÁLICA reinforce once more the objective to invest in this promising market. The connections established in this event, makes us believe that the market it’s starting to demand solutions for the automation of production processes in which Motofil, is certainly the right option due to our solutions and services of quality.“

Motofil will continue to invest in trade shows due to the positive results that this strategy is having in terms of the promotion of its brand.

September of 2017 will remains in the history of Motofil and in the participation in international trade fairs, as the beginning of a major change.

Schweissen & Schneiden took place from 25 to 29 of September, at Düsseldorf, Germany, and is considered the biggest trade show on welding and cutting in the world.

The approach was totally different from the past: we wanted our visitors to feel comfortable and inserted in the Motofil’s world, through a social area.

André Ferreira, USA & Canada Sales Manager, told that “we wanted to develop a structure that welcomed comfortably the visitors, conveying that message. We change the concept to show that we are close and ready to develop productive solutions for mutual progress.”

So, and through this new approach, we could accomplish some goals, that were established before the event: commercial relationships, identifying new clients and our image.

During the trade show, we made a lot of contacts with new clients and established new partnerships. We are really sure that the brand and image of Motofil were recorded in our visitor’s minds.

João Carlos Novo, the CEO, had this to say during the trade show: “It’s important to recognise that the Motofil’s team did a wonderful job either at the company, either here while assembling the booth. We have a young and amazing team, that has the will to win!
Every step that we have been taking, lately, have been the right ones, but this (the trade show) was the major one, in recent years. Allow me to thank and congratulate the team! Thank you so much!”

From 6 to 8 of June, Motofil was present, once again, in Subcontratación, a trade fair in BEC, in Bilbao, Spain.

The event was attended by more than 19 thousand people from various sectors like the automotive, energy, aeronautics, railway, metalworking, among others and exhibitors from countries like Portugal, France, USA, Italy, and Germany.

During the trade fair, there were over 1500 interviews between companies that intend to “subcontract” services and products and companies that could provide them.

According to Carlos de la Hoz from Motofil Ibérica: “The trade fair Subcontratación from Bilbao has shown that the Spanish market trend is changing. The clients, who live in other countries, made the effort to attend the fair. For these reasons, we believe that Motofil’s participation in Subcontratación was a good choice. ”

António Coelho, from Motomig, thanks “all the people who visited us and requested our products and solutions. We hope, in short-term, to turn those contacts in business deals.”

We expect to return to Subcontratación in the spring of 2019!

Motofil was, once again, present in Weldmex, the main fair of welding industry in Mexico, from 2 to 4 of May in Monterrey.
