Hear what our AFAC25 exhibitors had to say

“AFAC19 was an incredible opportunity for Code 3 to showcase our C3DNA technology and generate a huge amount of interest and exposure for our emergency lighting and warning device products. Over the three days we connected with a range of people from Operational personnel (both career and volunteers) to Fleet Managers, Procurement Managers and Engineers. AFAC for us is about connecting with not only customers but other industry providers and suppliers. The whole exhibitionhall was spectacular and we are extremely happy with the success of AFAC19 and cannot wait to see what is in store for AFAC2020.”
Jon Julian
National Sales Manager – Emergency, Code 3
“Our first time at AFAC 2019 will be memorable. We learned so much about public safety in Australia and how goods and services are purchased and looked at. Being from the States, we have more to learn but it was a positive first step to educate Australian first responders who Bryx is and all the things we can provide to decrease turnout times. We provide Bryx 911, our mobile alerting app for free to all first responders.”
Brian Bush
International Sales Manager, BRYX
“This year’s AFAC firefighting expo was a huge success for us. In past years it’s been mainly a time to see existing customers – mainly in aerial firefighting – but this year we saw a heightened interest from those looking to track ground fleet and their teams. Having seen the potential for growth this year makes the conference more worthwhile for us. Other highlights was the notable demand for vehicle tracking for fire, ambulance and security, as well as a heap of interest on keeping tabs on equipment and people – mainly for equipment and stocktake! Thank you for taking such great care of us.”
Rosa Anderson-Jones
Marketing Manager, TracPlus Global
“The AFAC exhibition I found to be a great platform to meet almost all of the important players in the industry. Being a producer of protective clothing and a new entrant in the Australian market we were able to introduce ourselves to all the major stakeholders including whole sellers, retailers as well as professionals engaged in preparing standards for protective equipment for different functions. The event is attended by decision makers and important influencers including the end users. There are a host of illuminating forums and talks around different aspects of the fire protection industry and all in all the whole experience is very comprehensive for anyone wanting understanding of the market. We have therefore decided to continue our participation in the event next year.”
