Robinson Brothers recently traveled to Budapest to exhibit at the Chemspec Europe 2014 event. The exhibition is the premier event for manufacturers of fine and speciality chemicals and experiences strong growth each year.A record number of visitors traveled to Hungary for the latest event, which played host to more than 400 companies covering all aspects of the industry.

Robinson Brothers took full advantage of this fact and positive discussions were held with a number of contacts in order to move forward a large number of existing projects. Meetings held during the event have facilitated significant project developments.

This was the first event at which the company unveiled its new exhibition stand and the top-quality setup really stood out from the crowd during the event. As a result, initial contact was established with a series of parties who made walk-up enquiries and are interested in Robinson Brothers' expertise and the services it can provide.

Developing relations with stakeholders that will allow the company to explore new opportunities and expand its operations into alternative markets was also a key priority for the company. It was therefore pleasing to have the opportunity to come into contact with Agents able to facilitate discussions regarding potential movements into eastern Europe, in particular Poland and Russia.

Budapest proved to be a wonderful host city with plenty to do away from the event and the exhibition itself was a success. However, Robinson Brothers is committed to using occasions such as this to both reward and develop its staff.

To this end, the group in attendance on behalf of the company was not solely made up of executives or those responsible for sales and purchasing. In actual fact, it contained members of the company's research and development team.

This provides them with the opportunity to experience how the products they have helped to develop have a place within certain markets and the demand for those, while also providing them with an invaluable insight as to the nature of the commercial side of the business.

After another successful edition of Chemspec Europe, Robinson Brothers has already signed up for 2015 and will be in attendance in Cologne next summer.
