Central Asian International Cold Storage, Transportation and Cold Chain Services Exhibition

FEEDBACK FROM EXHIBITORS ColdChain Qazaqstan 2023

Hoogeveen Marco, CEO Head Office Technocool Engineering (Kazakhstan):

We are very happy to be at ColdChain Qazaqstan as representatives of our company, as the exhibition is a great platform to meet new clients and potential partners. It is not the first year we take part in this exhibition, we like it very much here. It takes a long period of time to conclude contracts, we already work with our main partners, but it is always good to meet them live and renew contacts. I believe that visiting such platforms helps us to find new clients and expand our business.


Arsen Rysdauletov, Representative of Dutch Fruit Solutions Kazakhstan (Kingdom of the Netherlands):

We participate annually in the AgroWorld Qazaqstan exhibition in Almaty. This exhibition is an important component for the development of agricultural markets in Kazakhstan, especially in Central Asia. As part of Dutch companies, we have been participating since 2019. Today we participate for the 4th time with a stand. One of the partners of the Dutch stand is our Association of Gardeners of Almaty Region. We jointly organize panel discussions every year as part of the business program, discuss market problems and development prospects. I believe that it is necessary to continue to participate, to hold discussions, because at this time we come up with new thoughts, ideas, where we should move forward. Every year during our participation we come to certain conclusions. Both new companies that want to be in the fruit business, medium-sized farms and large companies come to us. We see that there is interest, desire to work, to develop, so we are always open for any dialog. We support and advise everyone. Next year, of course, we will participate again.  I believe that sustainability and constancy are very important in this business, if you take breaks, it can backfire.


Bekenbai Amanzhol, General Director of Assel LTD (Kazakhstan):

I believe that AgroWorld Qazaqstan has long been one of the most successful exhibitions in the agricultural industry for farmers in Kazakhstan. We have been participating in this exhibition for 5 years already. At the exhibition we can see and learn a lot, we have a lot to learn from each other. We met with many of our colleagues from large companies involved in agriculture. We share experience and actively work with each other. This is a big, promising exhibition. We wish that it will be held for a long time in the future and will help to achieve great success in agriculture. Employees of our company have been trained in Israel and started working in Atyrau region in terms of providing drip irrigation systems in agriculture. Last year during participation in this exhibition we sold a lot of equipment on drip irrigation systems. Our current task is to create this system in all regions of Kazakhstan. We will definitely participate next year. I believe that every farmer, agrarian of Kazakhstan should take part in the exhibition, which gives an opportunity to learn and gain experience.


Frolov Andrey, Chief Engineer, founder of NTP-Sintez (Republic of Belarus):

It is not the first time we are in Kazakhstan, as always, we are welcomed very hospitably, it is very pleasant. There are many visitors at the site, comfortable, mutually beneficial cooperation takes place. Belarus is an agrarian country, it is very pleasant for us to be present on the Kazakh land and to pass on the knowledge and technologies that we have. In turn, in addition to this, we are ready to offer our products, because the products that our company is engaged in, allows us to grow nutritious and tasty products that are in demand in society. And this is the key to the continued existence of civilization. Therefore, the consultative interaction that we have on the fields of this exhibition is very fruitful, useful and mutually beneficial. During these two days serious contracts were concluded, events were planned, which have already resulted in certain agreements, they will be realized with the onset of the new season. The exchange of experience that took place yesterday and today will allow us to get results even in 2 weeks. So we will wait for a response from our customers here, who should contact us, and we will move on. We plan to participate with a stand next year, to continue further communication, to exchange experience, to promote our products, to get the information that you have in Kazakhstan.  Participation is necessary in order to project the knowledge and technologies that we have, taking into account the specifics of the Kazakhstani climate, soil and nuances that we have here on the ground.


Prearo Michele, Area Sales Manager Officine Facco (Italy):

We have been participating in AgroWorld Qazaqstan for quite a long time. This year everything is going very well, we had a lot of interesting meetings with new and existing customers. We were satisfied! Now we are in the process of discussing several contracts. The qualitative composition of visitors is also pleasing, our stand is visited only by professional audience with real projects behind them. I think we will definitely participate next year.


FEEDBACK FROM EXHIBITORS ColdChain Qazaqstan 2022

Ivan Ivashchenko, EHO:

This is our first time attending ColdChain and the number of potential customers visiting our exhibition stand every day impressed us. There were many requests; we look forward to further cooperation. We plan to take part with a larger stand and with an expanded number of employees next year. I would like to note that all the customers who visited us were our target audience, in our direction, there were no random visitors. Thank you!


Azamat Ismagulov, Akay Trade LLP:

We take part in the exhibition not for the first time. The development of the exhibition is evident every year. Lots of visitors and participants. It is a big advantage for us that we made new acquaintances and exchanged contacts. I think it is helpful for everyone. We agreed on further meetings with clients, there were requests from them, that we will process after the end of the exhibition. Thank you!


Alexander Ivantsov, Igloszron:

We like the exhibition very much. There were many participants and visitors. We have found potential partners for cooperation. Since the exhibition was productive and eventful for us, we plan to exhibit next year as well. I am satisfied with my first participation.


Aizhan Umarova, Multivac LLP:

We participate in the exhibition not for the first time, since 2019 we have been present as exhibitors. The impressions are good. We would like to thank the organizers. Our partners, with whom we cooperate, visited us; new visitors also came to get acquainted. I take part as an organizer, our managers worked with clients and agreed on a new partnership. I am very pleased the exhibition, the expectations were justified.


Zoya Novolodskaya, Development Director, SILUMIN-VOSTOK (Cold Chain)

We have been working with Iteca for a long time and have participated in many exhibitions, because our company is engaged in a wide range of equipment production. We are participating in ColdChain exhibition for the first time because our products have only been on the market for two years. We decided to present all our new products and developments on a large scale. Since it is mainly companies that provide food processing services are involved here. We, in turn, are solving the issues of preserving the same products, this is very important for the agricultural sector. We are the only company represented here with our own refrigeration equipment. The stand contains the main samples of our products. Therefore, I will say that the agiotage around our stand is very high. It will take our specialists two weeks to process the applications that were collected during these two days. Offline events are more profitable than online, you can not only touch and see everything with your own hands, but also get expert advice at the stand. We are the only production workers represented here. And on the Kazakhstan market there are no more than two or three companies, so there is a deficit in the consultation of competent specialists, and people who wanted to get answers received them here.


FEEDBACK FROM EXHIBITORS ColdChain Qazaqstan 2021

Tatyana Mozhayeva, manager of the meat industry department of EUROSNAB

Participation in the exhibition is a very useful experience for us, we are here for the second time. A lot of new potential clients visited us yesterday and today, we held meetings with our regular clients. I want to thank the organizers for bringing together interesting participants, it was very informative and cognitively. Our products were in great demand, as there were few companies that exhibited exactly food ingredients. There was an increased interest, a large number of requests for meat processing, confectionery and beverages. Such platforms provide live contact with people, and this is very productive in the field of business. I would like to see more of our domestic producers, especially sausage production. We hope that all the nuances associated with the pandemic will soon be resolved and next year the scale of the exhibition will become much larger. Our company will definitely exhibit in the next 2022.


Apulkis Romas, Baltic Gastronomy Leaders

I think that the level of the exhibition is at a high level. I did not even expect this, in general I liked everything. I think that the people who have come are seriously looking at the potential of the exhibition. I wish there were more new clients. We don't need many partners, we only need a few good quality partners. Events of this format are needed for communication, here we can follow market trends. We definitely plan to take part in this exhibition in 2022.


Aydinyan Musheg, Head of the Business Missions Department of the International Partnership Department of the MEC

To date, we assess participation in the FoodExpo exhibition only from a positive point of view. Moscow is interested in the Kazakhstan market. It should be noted that today 30 percent of all export falls on Kazakhstan, and we are only interested in increasing our activity. As of the current moment, more than 150 meetings have taken place, we have brought 15 food companies to the exhibition. All meetings are usually targeted. The presented companies are already active exporters from various categories, such products as energy drinks, food, ice cream, healthy products presented. We are interested in participating in your next exhibitions. Selection will be carried out, and we hope that our companies will also be interested in the market of Kazakhstan and we will have good quality partnership relations. It should be noted that the offline format is, first of all, an active live contact between the seller and the potential buyer. Probably one of the most effective ways to promote products is offline support. Unfortunately, the pandemic year made itself felt, and we were forced to move all events online. We hope that starting today, we will carry out all working meetings in the usual offline format.


Alexander Litvinchuk, Director of Corrugated Board Sales Department, NURKAGAZY LLP

We have not participated in the exhibition for a couple of years, but we have known your company for a long time. We have been taking part for 15 years in your exhibitions, we have a good close relationship. We are glad that our company is cooperating with you, because such platforms are necessary and in demand for business and for people. The situation with restrictions is a little annoying, people are wary of getting sick with coronavirus and there are fewer visitors. But at the exhibition platform everything is organized in compliance with sanitary standards and the risk is minimal. A lot of foreign companies are represented at the exhibition, including the Moscow regions: Omsk, Altai, Buryatia and even companies from the Far East. Therefore, the main players of the market for the production of corrugated packaging and containers were exhibited at this exhibition. We are pleased with the exhibition and consider it to be very fruitful. We plan to participate next year because this is a great opportunity for further development.


Zoya Novolodskaya, Development Director, SILUMIN-VOSTOK (Cold Chain)

Отзывы о выставке WorldFood Kazakhstan 2018

Батыржан Нуршанов Коммерческий директор ТОО «ALA Sintez»

Хочу отметить, что организация выставки – замечательная! Выходя на данную бизнес площадку, мы не ожидаем, что все произойдет само собой. Здесь можно остановить любого проходящего мимо посетителя, и общение с ним может перерасти в бизнес отношения. Всё зависит от того, чем лучше вы «обрабатываете» потенциального клиента, тем лучше будут результаты.

Например, в прошлом году мы получили хорошие показатели: заключили контракты и выстроили отношения с теми компаниями, которые уже работают на рынке и с теми, кто только планируют запустить свое производство напитков. Сегодня мы также уже получили новых клиентов и новые контракты.


Игорь Смирнов, Директор компании «Комплекс-Бар Кей Зет» (Казахстан)

В этом году выставка проходит хорошо, мне все нравится. Организаторы быстро реагируют на запросы, мы очень довольны их работой! И надеемся найти здесь новых партнеров, не упустить старых и показать наши новинки.


Александр Скрипин, Директор компании Aqua Food Trade

Мы производим выпуск рыбной продукции в Казахстане, а также являемся официальным дистрибьютором продукции компании «РЫБПРОМ». В выставке WorldFood Kazakhstan мы участвуем второй год подряд и получаем хорошие результаты. Только за первый день работы выставки в этом году мы получили уже 3 контракта с региональными компаниями из Тараза, Шымкента и Усть-Каменогорска. Для нас WorldFood Kazakhstan – это бизнес площадка, где мы можем напрямую, без посредников осуществлять поиск партнеров и заключать выгодные контракты.


Татьяна Орешкевич Начальник отдела ВЭД ОАО «Пинский мясокомбинат» (Беларусь)

Мы представляем нашу продукцию на выставке WorldFood Kazakhstan 2018 третий год подряд. И, когда мы впервые приняли участие в выставке, то получили хорошие результаты в виде новых партнёров. Я считаю, что выставки – это эффективная площадка для налаживания и поддержания сотрудничества с партнерами. Очень важно встречаться с уже действующими клиентами, выслушивать их пожелания, нарекания и предложения по работе. По телефону и по электронной почте это делать очень сложно.

Комплекс выставок в рамках WorldFood Kazakhstan в этом году организованны хорошо, у нас нет никаких нареканий! Принимая решение об участии в выставке мы в первую очередь ставили цель расширить объёмы поставок нашей продукции на Казахстанский рынок. Благодаря выставке мы рассчитываем заключить здесь как минимум 2-3 контракта.


Светлана Ониськова Специалист по маркетингу и PR компании ЧАО «Доминик» (Украина)

Мы не первый год принимаем участие в выставке WorldFood Kazakhstan. Хочу отметить, что ежегодно по итогам события мы получаем хороший результат в виде новых контактов, договоренностей с партнёрами. Также обновляется наша база потенциальных дистрибьюторов, с которыми в дальнейшем мы можем развивать взаимовыгодное сотрудничество.

В этом году, я хочу отметить, выставка организованна на достаточно высоком уровне. И мы конечно же ожидаем найти новых дистрибьюторов в Алматы, а также увеличить объем продажи нашей продукции в регионе в целом.


Елена Венедиктовна Продакт-менеджер ОАО Пивкомбинат «Балаковский» (Россия)

Мы впервые приехали в Казахстан на выставку WorldFood для того чтобы «освоить» местный рынок и продавать нашу продукцию здесь. Выставка помогает нам познакомится с местными дистрибьюторами, мы налаживаем контакты, обговариваем вопросы сотрудничества с потенциальными партнерами. Что касается организации, я считаю, что выставка проходит очень хорошо. Организаторы молодцы!


Ринат Апкаев Менеджер по продажам ООО Кайнак (Россия)

Мы впервые принимаем участие в выставке WorldFood Kazakstan. Более 6 лет мы выступали на подобных площадках в Москве. И только в этом году приняли решение о расширении географии сбыта нашей продукции. Хоть мы и доставляем уже в Казахстан нашу продукцию, этого недостаточно. Мы надеемся на выставке WorldFood Kazakhstan найти новых клиентов. Могу сказать, что уже в первый день у нас появились потенциальные партнеры, с которыми мы прорабатываем вопросы сотрудничества. Также мы пообщались с уже существующими партнерами.

Об организации выставки могу сказать – все проходит очень хорошо, работа выставки выстроена системно и грамотно.


Артём Ковалевский Директор по продажам ООО «Диад» (Россия)

В Казахстан на выставку WorldFood мы приехали первый раз. С момента старта нашего бизнеса мы ежегодно участвуем в подобных выставках в России. Сегодня для нас важно найти новых клиентов, показать специалистам-посетителям свою продукцию. Еще одной важной задачей на выставке является мониторинг конкурентов, мы изучаем тенденции казахстанского рынка. Продукт у нас уникальный, никто из стран СНГ не производит подобное и для нас очень важно знать мнение наших потенциальных и существующих покупателей.

Мне очень нравится, как проходит выставка и как она организованна. Я считаю, что площадка будет эффективной для нас.


Максим Стрельников, Директор компании «Вулкан»

Я считаю, что выставка - это один из основных инструментов продвижения своей продукции. Мы впервые приехали в Алматы на выставку HoRex, потому что заинтересованы в развитии нашего бизнеса на Казахстанском рынке. Мы уже экспортируем свою продукцию в Казахстан и имеем определенное количество клиентов. Однако, мы не хотим останавливаться на этом и, сегодня, ставим целью нарастить объемы наших продаж здесь. Не мало важно, также, и изучить рынок Казахстана. Благодаря выставке, я думаю, мы сможем осуществить поставленные цели. Ведь выставка организована очень хорошо, все сервисы доступны, не вижу никаких проблем.


Олжас Роман, Специалист коммерческого отдела компании EuroCold (Казахстан)

Мы впервые участвуем в выставке ColdChain Kazakhstan. Мне очень нравится, как проходит выставка, всё прекрасно организованно.

Наша компания достаточно молодая, мы всего на рынке 3 года и для увеличения узнаваемости нас на рынке, мы решили выступить со своим оборудованием здесь. Рассчитываем, что на выставке мы обретем новых клиентов, получим для себя новый опыт. Очень важно для менеджеров развивать навыки общения с клиентами, уметь грамотно представлять свою компанию.
