Review ITME 2004 Mumbai, India

Langenfeld, 21.01.2005
DAMGAARD thanks all the customers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh for visiting us at our stall during the ITME 2004 in Mumbai. Of course, another big „thank you“ is dedicated to the staff of our representative Trimurti Agencies, especially Mr. Raman Malhotra.

The success of this exhibition is a result of the kind atmosphere and the fine co-operation with the other companies that are represented in India by Trimurti Agencies.

For Mr. Hof, who has travelled the Indian market for Reiners & Fürst for many years, this ITME was the last exhibition before he resigned from business in the end of 2004 due to his age.

We wish him all the best and all the health he needs in his coming life period.

For his successor, Mr. Helli, who has been on the ITME 2004 also, DAMGAARD wishes a prosperous time with Reiners & Fürst.

Below, we have attached some photo impressions from India:
