Bernhard and Company started a run of global turf trade shows throughout the fall and winter in the UK, USA, Asia and Australia.
Bernhard and Company will be showcasing its full range of turf care solutions including reel grinders, bedknife grinders and smaller machinery, in addition to its distribution products (in applicable regions), SubAir, Soil Scout and TurfBreeze. Visitors will also be able to view product and service videos and learn more about Bernhard and Company’s revered aftersales service. Bernhard will be in a bespoke booth at each show to enhance the experience of its visitors to ensure they get the most out of their visit.
“We have been able to gain a great deal of insight and expertise from the industry by exhibiting and being present at trade shows around the world,” said Steven Nixon, managing director for Bernhard and Company. “Each of these shows is a great opportunity for us to get in front of customers, prospective customers, and industry friends – it’s really valuable time for us.”
Bernhard and Company began its trade show swing at the Japan Turf show at the Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Centre. Bernhard and Company exhibited on the Kyoeisha booth, with Express Dual, Anglemaster, and Dual Master machines on display. Both Kyoeisha and Bernhard and Company ran seminars on each day of the event.
