Sonoco Exhibit at BioMED San Jose a Success!
Sonoco Protective Solutions recently attended the BioMED show in San Jose, CA. This show is focused on the medical device industry and allows us to get in front of a unique audience of design firms, start up companies, and OEM's. This is the third medical show we've done so far and it has been a great way to help promote and expand our presence in the medical market.
Scott Novak, VP of Marketing & Business Development also did an "Innovation Brief" presentation at the show; highlighting the benefits of using molded EPP foam components in medical devices. Click HERE to see a copy of that presentation.
Overall the show was a success, pulling in just over 30 leads over two days. Rob Cole and Ray White have already had some follow up meetings and discussions with a few of the very promising leads.
Thanks to everyone who participated!
