Packaging companies find business partners online in Productpilot, a new business matching platform
Productpilot is a new online business matching platform powered by Messe Frankfurt. It provides an ideal virtual marketplace and a useful networking and communications platform for companies and products like packaging materials, transportation and stationery. Productpilot provides a reliable, extensive industry database with worldwide products showcased at events that are organised by Messe Frankfurt. Worldwide suppliers, exporters, buyers and traders appreciate Productpilot as an ideal database supporting their e-procurement processes. Productpilot supports sourcing, which is the search for new supply sources, and scouting, which refers to the search for new products, services or trends. If you are, for example, in the paper, luggage or fabrics industry, browse Productpilot and get to know it as a valuable and cost-effective tool.
Productpilot is provided by Messe Frankfurt. The company is an internationally renowned service provider for exhibition organisation. Each year, Messe Frankfurt hosts more than 120 international trade fairs. Soon, Productpilot will contain more than 20,000 companies and 120,000 products from different branches.
With the introduction of Productpilot, Messe Frankfurt’s management decided to extend its trade show portfolio. The company implemented a three pillar approach with the real trade fair, a trade fair’s website and Productpilot as an industry and contact database. In the packaging industry, trade professionals attend trade shows as platforms to exchange the latest information on materials, wrapping trends or gift ideas. It is important for trade show attendants to prepare themselves for upcoming exhibitions. Productpilot provides its information throughout the year, but an online business matching platform can of course not substitute a real event.
Messe Frankfurt has become a reliable source for business matching competence on exhibitions and now also in the internet. Step by step, Messe Frankfurt extends its trade fair program to the internet and synchronises the offline trade show world with the online world. Exhibition by exhibition, new factories, and importers, shipping companies, manufacturers and products such as gift paper, textiles or plastic items are added to the database trade show by trade show. Users can browse and contact exhibitors for free. Email addresses and company contacts provide useful information for supply chain professionals.
Generally speaking, Productpilot provides information in English. But as it is an internationally accessible platform, company and product information may also be presented in French, German and Spanish – depending on an exhibitor’s nationality. The self-explanatory and easy to navigate online translator helps avoiding misunderstandings. Languages like Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese or Russian are accessible.
