Petersburg Technical Fair is one of the high-priority events of our city. The Exhibition was included to the plan of the Ministry for Industry and Energy and that proves its high significance on the All-Russian and federal levels.

Our city is open for cooperation. It is important that every year the number of Russian and foreign participants of the fair is increasing and that growth is provided by not only interesting exposition, but also by a highly topical business program.

I am confident that the Petersburg Technical Fair will become the venue for demonstration of latest samples of industrial products, foster further development of the real sector of city’s economy and expansion of international relations.

The European Tour of PTFair 2007

In the course of September and October three foreign presentations of the Petersburg Technical Fair were held in Czech Republic, Poland and Sweden within the framework of the International Fair of casting technologies for Metal, the International Mechanical Engineering Exhibition MSV-2006 and the Scandinavian Technical Fair. The organization of the presentation was provided by Restec Exhibition Company.

The Petersburg Technical Fair (13-16 March, Saint Petersburg), which in recent years has become the most interesting industrial event in the North-Western region of the Russian Federation, including its allotted exhibitions "Metallurgy" and "Casting", arouse a keen interest of participants and visitors of the casting fair "Metal" in Poland. Within three days there were held negotiations with more than 150 representatives of metallurgical and casting companies of England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Czech Republic. It is pleasant to notice that during the exhibition its sponsors, Targi Kielce company executives, found time for visiting the stand of the Petersburg Technical Fair and conducting negotiations with the Russian delegation. Under the negotiations, they reached an agreement on organization, provided by Targi Kielce company, of Polish national exhibits at the Petersburg Technical Fair and on mutual event information support.

Within the framework of the Scandinavian Technical Fair there were held negotiations with organizers of the fair and participants of the exhibitions about participation of Swedish mechanical engineering and machine tool companies in Saint Petersburg exhibitions. Participation interests and desire to present their productions at the Russian market were also shown by other foreign participants of the events, among them: HUNTER (USA), SZOPIENICE, HUTA BUCZEK è ESAB (Poland), MC-TECH (Italy), MOTUL (Germany).

Members of the fair steering committee also took part in the operation of the most meaningful in Europe mechanical engineering exhibition MSV-2006 in Czech Republic. Negotiations with representatives of the Czech Business Support Agency "CzechTrade" and BVV company (MSV-2006 organizer) confirmed that the exhibitions "Metalworking" and "Tools" were included in the plan of the Czech Department of Industry for rendering government support to Czech companies in taking part in international exhibitions. In this respect, in 2007 within the framework of the Fair a collective exposition of Czech Republic will be organized, and the "Czech Days" event is scheduled to be held in Russia.

We hope that the work done by the delegation of the Petersburg Technical Fair at the most popular European exhibit events will expand the circle of participants and visitors of the Petersburg Technical Fair 2007.
