Elena Starkova, head of sales department of "Rayduga trade" Company, Kiev: "Our expectations came true. Though it was unusual to see the number of participants and area of stands. Conversations touched upon crisis and problems, connected with it. The second day changes everything. The number of visitors increased greatly. Of course, their number was less than in the past, but, nevertheless, we felt interest in our production and that raised hopes in our breast. More constructive talks got under way, problems have disappeared, and solution of complicated tasks began. That is why, the exhibition produced a positive impression on us. We have had fruitful talks with our old partners and have found new. And one more positive impression – people have remembered about the domestic manufacturer. I do not mean that nobody has remembered earlier, but the priorities were set otherwise. "
