It is 677 km from Klaus to there. A distance that we were happy to take on. After all, given the many international contacts with potential customers throughout Europe and the USA, 677 km is actually quite a long way. For four days, 5,800 exhibitors from 72 nations presented themselves to around 80,000 trade visitors from 165 countries at the supplier trade fair, which took place parallel to the MEDICA 2024 industry congress. Modern healthcare solutions for outpatient and inpatient care and how this can be guaranteed with state-of-the-art medical technology was the aim of the trade fair. At the joint stand of Austrian suppliers organized by the WKO, we were able to hold countless discussions with a small but eye-catching presence. The quality of the visitors was obvious. Many decision-makers from the healthcare sector (companies, clinics, organizations) were looking for new solutions. As a small newcomer, we were able to score points with our specialized range of cleanroom-manufactured precision plastic parts. Above all because we were able to offer the complete value chain from development, design and tooling through to the finished plastic part and - if required - through to component assembly. It is also astonishing that even large companies consciously prefer smaller suppliers like us, who can react to the often rapid changes in the market thanks to flat hierarchies and flexible structures. Large, cumbersome corporations - as the automotive industry is currently demonstrating in dramatic fashion - are clearly out of their depth here. Sandra Lercher, Markus Sonderegger (Managing Director of Lercher-Medical), Joachim Rothfuss and our new International Sales Manager Gregor Fleisch were on hand to answer visitors' questions. The result of this exciting trade fair appearance is a file folder full of contacts and discussion notes that now need to be followed up. "The result of this exciting trade fair appearance is many new contacts, which we hope will lead to a long-term business relationship. We are already looking forward to it!"
