FOrMEd ten years ago in lecco, italy,
Expometals.net – an online portal for
the wire and cable industry – has now
presented a russian language site to
accompany the English, German, French,
Spanish and italian.
Expometals was founded in 2001 as a
start-up by a group of web experts and
advertising people. Expometals.net
has proved an effective tool in helping
businesses in their internationalisation
process and in searching for customers,
partners and suppliers, through the
internet. This is the reason why the
circulation in multiple languages is an
important aspect, because it enables
companies featured on Expometals.net to
reach a wider audience.
More than 15,000 visitors each month
testify to the effectiveness of Expometals.
This data is certified by Google analytics,
and continues to grow. There are more
than 250 companies around the world
that are now actively using it for their
corporate communication. The interaction
with search engines and social networks,
and the support of the portal’s staff
in copywriting, translations and web
marketing enable MSMEs to delegate part
of their communication on the internet –
or at least find in Expometals.net a team
of web professionals at their service.
Expometals is useful for visitors too, not
only when searching for semi-finished
and finished products, but also for those
who are looking for machines, tools,
lubricants and equipment. in addition,
there are news, technical articles, updates
on events and interesting exhibitions.
Besides attending wire and Tube
düsseldorf, the best-known exhibitions
in the field, the portal’s team has moved
in recent years from China to the
USa, from india to russia to cover the
leading specialised events in the world.
Expometals.net is an independent project,
open to collaborations with trade shows,
magazines, institutions and associations.
