What made you decide to attend this year's Expo?
We have multiple suppliers that will be attending PRINTING United. It is a great event to reconnect with these suppliers and see what new products they are offering. Plus, the location is great as well!
If you've been before, what brings you back?
Texas Nameplate has attended PRINTING United before and what brings us back are the people. During the show, we are able to meet with suppliers, customers, all while looking at new innovated equipment and product offerings.
How do you plan and make the most of your time at the Expo?
Prior to the show, we make a good plan of must stops while walking the event. In addition, if there is a particular company we want to connect with, we will reach out ahead of time. In addition, the last two years I have brought samples of current products we manufacture so that suppliers can see first hand on supplies/processes that would recommend to help us improve.
How do you hope attending will impact your business/career moving forward?
Its good for our stakeholders to see us attending events like this. It shows that your company is actively trying to learn and improve processes. I always come home from PRINTING United with ideas on how we can improve going forward, and this year I expect the same.
