EXHIBITOR TESTIMONIALS

Cameron Paddock Operations and Business Development, Paddock Transport International

“It’s a really great concentration of key partners, customers and suppliers in this industry – particularly North America, but even beyond – and it aligns well with our business and what we’re looking for. We find Breakbulk Americas to be particularly efficient for us because it’s all the right people in the right place.”

Fatima de Leon Marketing, Branding and External Communications Manager, Port Houston

“The show is definitely growing – we’ve seen more people this year than last year. It’s exciting because we’ve been able to make great connections. We see everybody here, from students expanding their knowledge to vendors, the media and companies we work with.”

Rodney Revells Director of Business Development, Gulf States Trucking

“The biggest thing we get out of being here is getting to meet customers and vendors we’d never normally get to see. This is an opportunity – maybe the only one all year long – to make those connections and put faces to names.”
