Why Do You Attend MATS?
“At MATS, I am able to get innovative and creative solutions to problems I am having with my company. Through product demonstrations, I am able to drastically improve issues that occur in our shop.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“MATS has so much information in one place. If you have any questions, or just want to get an overview of the industry, everything is there and can be answered. You don’t get this information anywhere else.”
“MATS is a great place for anyone who wants to see what people are thinking. Everybody here at MATS has great products that they want to tell you about. I love going, the demonstrations and new products are second to none.”
Product Demonstrations:
“Due to MATS, I was able to find a solution on how to fix the support beams on a lowboy trailer I have. We were able to see the designs of trailers in person and compare the advantages of all the companies. Because of that, I found the best company to support the need for our lowboy trailer.”
Post Show Purchasing:
“MATS has definitely influenced our post show buying behavior. Through passing out business cards and building relationships with companies, we have bought welding rods to fulfill a business need. We’ve bought specialty products that you just can’t find elsewhere besides at MATS.”
