Atlanta, GA (November 15, 2018) – Site Location Partnership (SLP), a Dallas-based corporate site selection consulting firm, announced its successful exhibition at Fabtech 2018. SLP met with many businesses to evaluate opportunities for economic development and job creation. The firm also attended a private event in Atlanta dedicated to networking and discussions between site selectors and economic developers.
Fabtech 2018, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event, brought together more than 1,500 exhibiting companies and a total of 33,755 attendees from 75 countries. FABTECH provides a convenient ‘one-stop shop’ venue where attendees meet with world-class suppliers, see the latest industry products and developments, and find the tools to improve productivity, increase profits and discover new solutions to all metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing needs.
“It’s been several year’s since we’ve attended a FABTECH show in Atlanta, and the results for us were great. We had a number of high-quality conversations with businesses considering expanding their operations or relocating altogether,” said Justin Thompson, CEO of Site Location Partnership. “The show was extremely busy for us and we were pleased with the quality turnout of decision-maker attendees. We look forward to exhibiting again next year when the show returns to Chicago.”
At the networking event, SLP representatives joined economic development officials, corporate real estate executives, business leaders, and other site selection consultants. “As Justin mentioned, it’s been a number of years since we’ve been to Atlanta for a show. The market, on the corporate real estate and site selection side, is fantastic. It was wonderful to see people that we, and our clients, have had several interactions with over the last few years.” commented Mark Darce, Senior Vice President of Development at Site Location Partnership. “We will actually be back in this market next year in the Spring, and it’ll be great to follow back up on these conversations and connections we made here.”
