MJ Event Gear and Auto Africa 2006 |
South
Africa 's Largest International Motor Show is just coming to an end and
MJ Event Gear is proud to have been a part of it. Investing in an
additional 216m of Euro truss and 32 corners (especially for the
occasion) ensured that our clients' stands stood head and shoulders
above the rest.
MJ Crew
and technicians worked feverishly around the clock to get the stands
looking their very best in terms of cabling and spacing. Huge amounts
of pre-planning went into the show to ensure that, once on site, there
would be no hiccups. MJ Director Mike Jones comments "This is the
largest show in our country and MJ Event Gear is happy to have been
visibly involved "

Not
only did MJ have a hand in supplying technical expertise and equipment
for nine stands at Auto Africa, but also designed and conceptualised an
entire stand for the hottest name in the tool industry at the moment,
JONNESWAY® Professional Tool Range. The sole distributor in South Africa, Gondolier,
commissioned MJ Event Gear to design a stand for the Auto Africa 2006
International Motor Show that would aid in creating lasting brand
awareness.
The brief was very specific,
and when presented with the concept by Dale Strydom, Operations
Manager, the client was astounded by how accurately his brand had been
interpreted. Taking inspiration from the Jonnesway factory and
utilising the corporate colours, MJ created a dynamic, fluid design
that was sure to stand out from all competitors. Eye catching lighting
and plasma display screens added even more vibrancy. The CEO of
Jonnesway Taiwan, Mr. Joseph Liao, was also present to view the stand.
As an added indictment of the sterling work carried out by MJ,
the stand took a Gold Achievement Award in their category. |
