KommaTrade, an online mechanical engineering trade fair, was recently launched at www.kommatrade.com. Through the Web portal, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, manufacturers from different sectors can make presentations with product pictures and a company description. The website allows users to click through to an exhibitor's website, which provides communication coordinates and contact information.
The platform covers materials and metal forming, rotating equipment, process components, transmissions, automation and tooling. Examples include steel castings, hot forgings, gravity die castings, sintering, borehole pumps, thermal equipment, precision tubes, control valves, metallic bellows, engine bearings, ground gears, mechatronics, expansion arbors and rotary indexing tables.
The aim of the site is to help users discover new sources of supply which have export experience and are motivated to succeed in international business, according to KommaTrade.
