"Our key objective for visiting was ingredients sourcing and finding a formulation for our next product. There’s a good standard of people here, and the show is useful for getting lots of samples and good contacts. It’s helpful for our brand. The amount of people here and the type of people are the right people. We’ve had a couple of good meetings so far which have generated good leads. I’d describe the event as open and collaborative."

"As a raw materials manufacturer, we need to be here to establish relationships with our customers. It's where active participation in the market happens—a necessity for us. The ability to engage face-to-face with clients is invaluable and it enables us to arrange productive meetings efficiently. It’s much easier to engage with everyone directly and we look forward to continuing these engagements at next year's event in Amsterdam."
