With a total exhibition space of 13 861 m² (149 200 ft²), this year’s APPMA grew by four per cent compared with the previous year. According to a press release from the fair organisers, a total of 2 019 buyers from the pet industry visited the event. Participating in the fair were 544 companies belonging to APPMA, who occupied 1 492 stands. In their final report the organisers expressed their satisfaction with the outcome.
544 APPMA member companies took part in the fair, occupying a total of 1 492 stands.
But what would APPMA be without its awards? The “Best Booth Award” was brought into being as a way of rating the design and general appearance of fair stands, classified in separate classes according to size. This year first place in the “Chairman’s Category” (big stands) was taken by Doskocil Manufacturing of Arlington, Texas, followed by Aspen Pet Products Inc. of Denver and the Canadian company Eheim North America. Winner in the “President’s Category” (small stands) was the Canadian Amberhill Collection from Ontario, ahead of Novapet of Fort Lauderdale in Florida and Hanover Accessories of Plymouth.
And then there is the “New Products Showcase”, a competition that involves firms entering their innovative new products, which are then displayed on a special exhibition area. Judging is carried out in nine categories. In the “Dog” section, for example, Doskocil won first prize for its “Petmate Portable Pet Home”. Global Pet Products Inc. was winner in the “Gift” category with the “Pet Wheel Away”, and Rolf C. Hagen filled three places at once on the winners’ dais: third place in the “Point of Purchase” category for “Exo Terra Lighting Rock”, and second and third places in the “Small Animal” category for the new terrarium products “Exo Terra Reptile Den” and “Exo Terra Feeding Rock”.
Manufacturers present their competition entries in the “New Products Showcase”.
The next APPMA will take place in the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, from 26 to 28 February 2003. Contact the APPMA Trade Show Department, Tel. +1/800/452-12 25, or www.appma.org. phg
