The naysayers were happy to have been proven wrong; crowds exceeded the successful 2001 Atlanta show. “The AHR Expo was excellent for Klenk Tools,” said Marty Marcus, national sales manager for Delaware-based Klenk Industries. “Everything that we showed that was new got a thumbs up.”
Attendees likewise gave the show high marks. “This is my first time at the show, and I think it’s great,” said Anthony Fazzina of Florida-based Coastal Mechanical Services. “I can’t believe how big it is.”
Fazzina’s comments were echoed by Bill McNerney of M & G Metal Works, Bethel, Conn. “We find a lot of interesting stuff,” McNerney said. “So far, it’s very good.”
