Why Do You Attend MATS?
“I attend MATS to stay up to date with the latest products in the van and reefer manufacturing industry. MATS is the only show I attend each year, it has everything needed to help improve my business.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“MATS is the best place to buy parts and products. I needed to get a van quickly for my business, but due to the current shortage, it’s been hard. MATS provided me with an exhibitor that was able to build it a lot faster for me, and I would have never known of it if it wasn’t for this show.”
“At MATS, you really get to experience the entire trucking industry all at once. You get to see the newest products and see how companies are changing each year.”
Business Relationships:
“If it wasn’t for MATS, I wouldn’t be as successful in my business. The face to face interactions with exhibitors allow me to make informed business decisions to help my business. It’s the only show I go to.”
Networking:
“When we spec our vans out, we use suspension rows. At MATS, we always check out the Hendrickson and Holland booths and have built relationships with them over the years. We even end up running into a lot of our customers here at these booths. If you want to do business, this is the place to do it.”
More Attendee Spotlights
“MATS is the only show I go to. It’s the only show I make sure to take off time from work to attend. I never miss this show, the whole industry is really here all at once.”
“MATS provides an open forum where I can actually test out and see products live and in-person. I am able to research and make purchase decisions here that I know will directly improve my business.”
“You can see what products work for you and what products don’t work for you at MATS. You can test them out to find the best fit for your business.”
