Why Do You Attend MATS?
“MATS gives me the opportunity to look for new products while being able to network with product engineers and experts to find solutions for my company.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“I recommend going to MATS because it truly has everything that you need in the trucking industry. Being able to see the continued development in service tools and supporting supplies for working equipment has allowed me to save tons of time and money.”
“The networking opportunities here are second to none. There’s a lot to learn and see, it’s hard to put a true value on how much education there is for you at MATS.”
Networking:
“At MATS, I am able to network with industry supply leaders about my issues with fuel sourcing needs. After talking to various companies, I secured inventory from Continental for our 2022 fuel and tire needs. Securing this inventory allows me to save money and avoid the tops of the fuel market.”
Buying Product:
“I always buy products at MATS. I come to the show knowing what exhibitors that I want to check out. There’s always something that I heard of on the market, but am not always able to find it unless I am at the show. At MATS, I am able to find the newest hammer jacks, jack stands and lifts that allow me to save time and improve efficiency.”
