In the Caribbean of yesteryear, we would eagerly await the next trade show to review business activities in other islands. It was always a pleasure to witness the region’s latest and greatest under one roof and regardless of actual sales, we felt that we were participating in the ‘now’; present at a new reference point, with a new shot of adrenaline to renew our spirits.

Sadly, years have been devoid of these important events, as communication has distilled to the internet, international sponsorship has shifted its focus and regional business travel has contracted due to increased cost and reduced airline reliability.

So saying, all is by no means lost!
For those who yearn for actual human contact, I am pleased to announce that during the 9 - 12 of March the St. Lucia Trade Export Promotion Agency (TEPA) is hosting the Specialty Caribbean Expo which is “A one-of-a-kind opportunity for OECS and Martinique goods and services producers to interact with participants, stakeholders, policy makers, customers and buyers".

It is a timely and well needed exposé, to be held at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground, Beausejour, incidentally, following St. Lucia’s recent independence celebrations.  It emphasises the Government’s fresh policies and attitudes to drive industry, investment and involvement. To be sure, our economies have suffered without this focus over the last decade.

As with the landmark FIHAV Havana International Fair, Cuba last year, ECMIL will be taking part in this significant
St. Lucian show. At their prominent booth, you will be able to review roofing materials, colours and profiles, corporate and product videos, receive expert advice on the important role that steel plays in your next construction project and meet with company representatives, as a first step in your purchasing process, or to touch base for future business.

Whether you are a construction professional or a DIY expert,
this is a great opportunity to accumulate valuable information from steel experts.

ECMIL is no newcomer to regional shows as any visitor to their booth would attest. The company stakes its reputation on quality products, service and delivery, with solution- based customer relations at the core of their sales.  Their display is designed to show the often unseen workings of ECMIL’s steel factory in St. Vincent, in combination with images of the finished product in infinite permutations.

The company's considerable regional experience in both commercial and private sector roofing and fabrication manufacture and supply, makes ECMIL the reliable construction partner in any project.  So come prepared to ask questions and make a worthwhile connection to get your material supplies organized.
