3-6 August 2010, Iran: Confair 2010 is the largest event of its kind in Iran for the construction industry – a spectacular exhibition held in a 100,000m3 area with 1,400 domestic and foreign companies attending the four-day event. Confair 2010 provided an unrivalled platform for architects, engineers, contractors and developers to source and specify the latest building and construction products and services. It also featured an impressive line-up of added value elements including a Key Buyers Programme, Product Seminars and Conferences. Studor’s Iranian partner, Superpipe, had a 600m2 private "mini hall" over two floors – one of the largest stands at the exhibition. As usual, their stand was the busiest and they had more than 10 mini seminars for the Studor product launch targeting key people in Iranian market. As expected, Studor products were very well received by the consultants and the contractors.

16 July 2010, Congress Centre Padova - Italy: Bampi, Studor’s Italian partner, started a dedicated educational seminar program for plumbers. The first event was held in the Congress Centre of Padova on Friday 16 July. More than 100 local plumbers attended the event, listening with great interest and attention to the presentations given. The topic of “noise produced in drainage systems” was considered particularly interesting as fundamental information regarding legal requirements, correct installation, the causes of noise, the best solutions and the plumber’s responsibility were given. The subject “drainage ventilation” was obviously an integral part of this presentation, as a correct water flow in drainage systems can only be done with the right ventilation and automatically makes the drainage the most silent – no gurgling and a smooth water flow with Studor’s Air Admittance Valves: a strong and well perceived message for the audience!

21 July 2010, Port Macquarie, NSW - Australia: The latest NSW Master Plumbers Association tradeshow in the north costal town of Port Macquarie, held at the Port Macquarie Panthers Club, saw in the region of 50 companies from all aspects of the construction/plumbing industry display their products. Grant Weymouth (National Support Manager and Area Sales Manager NSW/ACT) of Studor Australia was on hand to discuss the Studor products with approximately 100 plumbers who attended throughout the evening from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. It has been 3 years since the tradeshow was last held in Port Macquarie, so it was no surprise that the great number of local plumbers were also joined by delegates venturing from neighbouring townships both up and down the coast. Again, the P.A.P.A. drew curious stares, with comments like “that’s a mighty big AAV” being common, giving Grant the opening to explain its function and key benefits particularly in relation to multi-storey buildings. With this tradeshow being deemed one of the more successful regional events, Studor Australia is greatly looking forward to the next events in August at Wagga Wagga and Griffith “down south”.

The whole Studor product range was presented at both shows, with particular focus on the P.A.P.A.

23-27 March 2010, Milan – Italy: MCE (Mostra Convegno Expocomfort) was again a great success, with innovation, comfort, energy efficiency and saving as the main issues of the MCE four thematic areas of heat, cold, water and energy. The main attraction of Studor’s tradeshow activity this year was found on the Bampi booth, where more than 2000 visitors – all types of professionals, with the majority being installers – registered their presence and received a Studor product gift. The “Bampi Show”, an established and recognized event in the market, was again an incontestable success. This year the core message of the show was based on the synergy between “the medicine and the plumbing terminology”, which worked fantastically well. During each session, plumbers taken from the pool of visiting spectators had the opportunity to test the real and unique features of a Studor Air Admittance Valve: a different but very effective way to promote the brand! The overall success of the show gave the whole team a real pleasure in even just talking with enthusiasm about Studor.
