Comments from TransRussia 2004 Exhibitors:

“As a shipping company beginning a new route St. Petersburg – Rostock , we at Silja Cargo find our first visit to the TransRussia exhibition very positive. We got a lot of new contacts interested in our new route as well as in our already existing routes.”

Marina Hasselblatt, Silja Cargo

“We were extremely pleased with the reception of our product line amongst the visitors.   We expect rampant growth of our products in the Russian market.”

Dr Veijo Miihkinen , Managing Director, Oy Meclift Ltd

“It was the first time I have attended TransRussia as part of the Hamburg team.   The show was a success, I have met lots of interesting people and contracts have already been signed, sealed and delivered.”

Pieter Sutorius, SUTainer Trans-Safety

“The TransRussia fair is a great opportunity to show ourselves and strengthen our market position.   In Moscow , we not only made new commercial contacts but we also had an opportunity to meet our partners and to talk informally about present and future co-operation between our companies.   There was a great range of customers from carriers, forwarders and operators to sea ports and final customers as well as representatives of big logistic centres, and this provided the opportunity to make all possible business contacts.   This year’s fair was good enough for us to book as space for next year.”

Bogdan Kobus, Marketing and Commercial Director, PKP Cargo S.A.

“Eight Years with TransRussia: TransRussia is the leader among transport exhibitions in Russia which every year brings together representatives of railways, ports and freight forwarding companies of Russia , CIS and Europe . This exhibition not only gives a new impulse to the development of cooperation between all organisers of the transportation process, but also provides shippers with an opportunity to obtain, within a short period of time, comprehensive information about various market players and make their choice. Our work at the exhibition is an office in miniature. Such factors as services provided by a company, level of qualification and efficiency of company’s personnel performance and degree of diligence in holding negotiations with potential clients, provide a real opportunity to develop an idea about company’s performance style.

The most important thing is to have clients to attend the exhibition. Ten years is long enough to say with confidence – they do come to TransRussia and find reliable partners there.”

Larisa Baranova, General Director, Rail Service

“To my mind, TransRussia is the central exhibition in the country in the field of transport and logistics.

The leading Russian and international companies engaged in transport, logistics and customs sectors, as well as insurance companies and producers of the state-of-the-art technologies, participate in the exhibition. Recently, participation of IT technology developers has grown significantly.  

TransRussia provides specialists with an opportunity to establish new business contacts, to exchange experience and to define more precisely parameters of Russian logistic market.

We can note the importance of this event contributing to the improvement of competitiveness of transport and logistic companies, which, at the end of the day, has a favorable impact on the industry development and creates conditions for success and excellent results.

All fields of industry and trade have been showing profound interest in transport and logistics sectors, and TransRussia undoubtedly provides an excellent opportunity to obtain comprehensive information about the status of the industry and to sign beneficial contracts.

“Russian Logistic Service” Group of Companies has been participating in TransRussia since 1998. As a result of exhibiting at TransRussia, we have obtained new clients, improved the image of our company and established new business contacts. I consider our participation in TransRussia to be justified and feasible.”

Elena Bezrukova, Sales Coordinator, RLS Group of Companies

“Being an authorised operator of LUKoil Group, our organisation considers the main goal of participation in exhibitions to be positioning of the company as one of the leading Russian providers of high-level transport and logistic services up to the present day standards. In order to achieve such goal, we have chosen the largest Russian transport and logistic exhibition TransRussia which has worthy authority with the players of the transport market and has joined all those who are interested in the development of an efficient, safe and competitive transport system of Russia.”

Yannis Tokmazov. Deputy Director for Development and Quality, ZAO ‘LUKoil-Chernomorye’

“Being the largest Russian logistic exhibition, TransRussia makes a fair contribution to the development of the transport industry. During the exhibition transport companies engaged in various sectors have an opportunity to demonstrate their potential in the solution of logistic tasks and analyse development trends of Russian and international transport and logistic infrastructure, to establish new business contacts and maintain the existing relationship.”

Mikhail Gorshin, Deputy Director on Ship and Cargo Services, ZAO ‘Novotorik Marine Agency’

“Permanent steady success of TransRussia exhibition and conference over the last ten years has been an obvious evidence of the stabilisation process in the Russia transport market. Expositions and presentations of numerous participants and, in particular, our Group of Companies, demonstrate commitment of transport specialists to the improvement of quality and safety of transport services, provision of the international level of transportation and integration of the Russian sector into worldwide transport and logistic network. Popularity of events organised by ITE proves constantly growing professionalism of both the organisers and participants.”
