MTB Marine Europe 2017 Lake Maggiore

This was my first MTB and I will propose it to other buyers and suppliers I know. I just want to underline the perfect service and hospitality.

Purchase Manager, Arcadia Shipmanagement Co. Ltd.

MTB is a good opportunity to do as many visits as possible in 2 days without having to move. An intelligent instrument for business and social networking. Every minute of the day planned and organized, not leaving anything unpredicted or unexpected. Human aspects in social interacting is well evaluated and stressed.

Area Manager, Comtech

Effective, efficient, best way to increase the network between both parties, well organized and a very nice way to bring all parts of the world in one place.

Technical Officer/Team Leader, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement

Very valuable to be in contact with so many interesting (service) suppliers in such a short period of time. The chosen platform is valuable for both sides and will indicate new developments within the maritime market as well!

Senior Purchaser, Iver Ships (Vroon)

MTB allows Sellers to meet with clients from various countries under one roof. This can be a great advantage to the seller if the correct buyers are in attendance. It is a formal, but informal gathering, of the old and new friends.

Commercial Department, Bayport Global Services

The event was truly remarkable. The meetings were very interesting and fruitful. The breaks were also very important for meeting all the rest of the suppliers you don't have time to meet with.

Procurement Officer - ASM Maritime

We are always looking for new solutions in our supply-chain, therefore MTB is a great event to get in contact with new suppliers and service providers worldwide. It's an added value for our company to find new alternative suppliers.

Purchasing Manager - Chemikalien Seetransport

Overall, I found the event to be very productive, in the sense that we (the Buyers) were given the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with the suppliers, as well as interact with them in a more relaxed, social setting. I think this is significantly more effective than exhibition type events.

Supply Coordinator - Hellas Confidence Shipmanagement S.A.

Very effective. I mostly do not invite any new suppliers during the year and even did not visit SMM this year. Just concentrated everything on MTB and saved a lot of time.

Purchaser - Jebsen Shipping P. Management

The most effective way to make as many contacts as possible in the shortest possible time.

Technical Manager - KS Shipping Malta

Another great event. MTB has proved again, it is a great place for "speed dating". Very professional. Good to see all are well prepared and know what they want.

Global Product Manager - DB Schenker

Great experience having the chance to meet with so many people from the marine industry coming from all over the world!!! I highly recommend suppliers to join the event.

Project Manager - Onursan

This event offers the possibility to, in a short but effective way, get introduced and present your company as a potential supplier to relevant buyers. Then after the work starts to follow up on your leads, but now you know each other and have a common experience, this just makes it easier.

Global Key Account Manager - Hoyer Motors

An ideal opportunity to expand your network.

Account Manager - Lagersmit

It was a really nice hotel and we have some new interesting contacts and met nice people. I think it was really effective, because of so many new buyers. For me, it was the best event since 2015.

Sales Manager - Peters + Bey

Very valuable to connect with so many interesting suppliers in such a short period of time. The 20 minute speed date form is perfect. Splendid venue.

Purchaser, Anthony Veder

It was again a great pleasure to attend MTB as it was a great opportunity to meet old and new suppliers! Discussions for attending MTB next year are already underway in our office!

Purchaser, Kopping Shipping

Time effective and well organised. It is much better than exhibitions.

Purchasing Manager, Lemissoler Shipmanagement Ltd

I found MTB had a very effective format and the 20 minute discussions were enough for initial meetings, giving time for both parties to make relevant notes and for them to explore mutually beneficial issues and areas at a later time.

Purchasing & Logistics Manager, MOL LNG Transport (Europe) Ltd

MTB Marine Europe Lake Maggiore 2017 proved to be an invaluable experience for me. The format was very effective in ensuring the optimum balance between time for the appointments between buyers and suppliers, networking and leisure. I have gained a number of new contacts from my time there and have formed positive business relationships with the same going forward. The choice of hotel was excellent as was the service, food and drink. It was a well organised event and I’m glad that I attended.

Purchasing Manager, Southern Steamships (London) Ltd

Great location with an extremely good service, enough space for all participants which made it comfortable for everybody and therefore everybody was open for meetings and discussions. The place was perfect and that is a good opportunity to have good and open mind meetings. We had good discussions, met a lot of possible new clients and we liked the positive atmosphere of this event.

Great platform to meet the right contacts within our potential clientele. Large maritime exhibitions have limited added value in comparison to MTB.

Some very intense days and highly efficient meetings. A good occasion to have straight to the point meetings with new buyers and socialise with your existing and potential customers. This was my 6th MTB Europe and I am still seeing the benefit for my company to continue to participate.

Excellent arrangement in every aspect

Managing Director, Trans-it AS

Brilliant, wish I had thought of this concept

Purchase Manager, Dannebrog Rederi AS

Once again a very effective way of meeting suppliers- much better than exhibitions, while at the same time you can exchange information with other purchasers

Karin van Espen, J. Lauritzen A/S

Focusing two days on meeting new suppliers, it is something you can not achieve in any exhibition. That is the reason why "MTB" is so successful every year

Ria Xeneli, Queensway Navigation

Very Effective - worked well...highly productive, efficient and fun!

Richard Irvine, Strongwell

MTB is only one of the very few events in which you can effectively build up a network with many ship owners. It is a better investment than taking a stand at a trade fair if ship owners are your market

Henrik Gennissen, Kampers

It was my first MTB and I was impressed by the professional way the meetings were organised... Effective perfectly organised speed-dating between ship owners and suppliers.

Tanja Hoppmann, WISKA
