Reasons to Attend
GlassBuild America
See these companies appearing exclusively
at GlassBuild America in 2005!
Attending GlassBuild America, one of National Glass Association’s
annual trade shows, has contributed significantly to the profitability
and growth of Trainor Glass Company through the years. It has
always been a MUST-DO event.
If you want to see these 23 companies in 2005, the only major
U.S. trade show they are exhibiting in is GlassBuild America:
The Glass, Window & Door Expo.
Sure they might have been in our show before, but just take a
look at their square footage this year! See for yourself, visit
www.GlassBuildAmerica to view the most current floor plan
and list of exhibiting companies.
Walking the trade show floor is
educational and beneficial in so
many KEY ways.
• New vendors / new vendor
relationships
• New products
• Productivity ideas
• Machinery and equipment
• IT’S ALL HERE!
Seeing and hearing first hand, learning, interacting, getting your questions answered, comparisons – it’s all so VALUABLE.
Personally, the trade show interactions have prompted opportunities
for good profitable jobs. Visiting with one new key vendor over
three years ago has led to over six jobs with decent revenue and profit. Making a good contact at the trade show can give you that extra
edge on a job.
Trainor Glass visits and interacts with all the booths at the show.
There’s a lot of knowledge and you get a good feel for the products
and markets that are out there. IT’S A FACT for Trainor Glass that
GlassBuild America has been very beneficial to our success. It’s the
pulse of the industry and a good way to see how your business measures up. This year’s show will be EXCEPTIONAL!!
