January, Monday 20, 2014: The EFY Expo Western India 2013 edition, which concluded on November 23, 2013, was a resounding success as it received an overwhelming response from the electronics industry in the region. The event that took place in Mumbai from November 21-23, with 57 exhibitors, attracted over five thousand visitors during the three-day-long event. Participating exhibitors were extremely satisfied with the amazing response from the visitors. The Expo covered the entire ecosystem of electronics under one roof.
Ramesh Chopra, executive chairman, EFY Group, said, “The overwhelming number of trade visitors was an indicator that these expos can help the electronics industry grow and unleash its potential, faster. The EFY Expo Western India is on its way to becoming one of the most anticipated shows in the electronics industry.”
This expo, which targeted electronics manufacturing companies, design engineers, traders and companies with innovative electronic products, was also successful in building confidence amongst the major players in the western electronics industry, many of whom have already booked space for the next edition of the expo. “The successful debut of the EFY Expo Western India 2013 edition has given us confidence. It was an enabling platform for both suppliers and customers,” said Sujata Soparkar, managing director, Intron.
Visitors and exhibitors were also happy about the special services provided at the expo like the VIP lounge, a dedicated meeting area, free Internet access, free conferences, etc. The first 500 business visitors were also given a special gift—a free Electronics Yellow Pages worth Rs 1000.
“The EFY Expo Western India 2013 gave us a good platform and opportunity to showcase our products and meet potential customers,” said Kushal Panchal, manager-sales, CSIL.
The expo featured a diverse and comprehensive product range. The event witnessed the participation of manufacturers and service providers in the field of components, motors/drives, cables, assemblies and subsystems, ED/EDA, T&M technology, displays and power supplies. In the fields of production equipment, the technologies on display were for packaging, material processing, manufacturing equipment and logistics for PCBs, cable processing, soldering, etc.
With extensive publicity of the show, the right people could be reached. The response to the show exceeded all expectations.
Judging by the feedback received from exhibitors and visitors, the expo is all set to become one of the biggest electronics exhibitions in western India.
 The successful debut of the EFY Expo Western India is creditable. Interested customers and actual users have visited the expo. Probably we will take part in it next time as well. There were customers looking for the right solutions for highly technical products in the areas of space, military applications, etc.
