\"AAPEX\"

At Davison, we love traveling to various trade shows<\/a> in a multitude of industries. These shows align perfectly with our \u201cWe Try Longer\u201d mentality that we apply to our work as well as give us an opportunity to meet with innovative minds from far and wide to find a potential home for our clients\u2019 products.<\/p>\n

In the beginning of November, Davison President Frank Vescio and Managing Senior Director of Licensing Matt made their way to Las Vegas, NV for an action-packed week.<\/p>\n

Though Las Vegas is known for its nightlife, casinos and much more, this Davison duo went to Vegas for their annual trip to the SEMA and AAPEX trade shows.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0SEMA Show<\/a> is \u201cthe premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world\u201d and this year\u2019s show drew over 60,000 automotive product buyers!<\/p>\n

While the AAPEX<\/a>, or the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo, on the other hand, featured \u201cover 2,200 automotive aftermarket manufacturers and suppliers showcasing innovative products, services and technologies to 39,000+ targeted buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, with two big trade shows and an excited Davison duo, it\u2019s only fitting that we can report on some great news from both SEMA and AAPEX.<\/p>\n

According to Matt, both shows were an overall success!<\/p>\n

\u201cAs always, it\u2019s good to get out and meet with the companies we work with to see their new product launches at the show,\u201d<\/em> said Matt.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Mr. Vescio said that attending these types of shows is great for catching up with old contacts, making new contacts and working on improving our processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always great to attend these shows. It allows me to see past contacts, meet the new contacts that the company is establishing, watch our own licensing team members in action and get a pulse for what we can constantly do to improve our process of getting more products on store shelves than ever thought possible,\u201d<\/em> said Mr. Vescio.<\/p>\n

Matt said that the connections Mr. Vescio and he made did not stop with just companies we\u2019ve already built relationships with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe met with quite a few companies and established new contacts within the automotive industry,\u201d <\/em>said Matt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are off and running to increase our product presence (and the Davsion \u2018D\u2019) within this category!\u201d <\/em>said Matt.<\/p>\n

Though we can\u2019t disclose all of the great details from these shows like who we talked to and what companies we are pursuing, we can share with you some of the great photos that Mr. Vescio and Matt snapped while at the 2015 Las Vegas SEMA and AAPEX shows!<\/p>\n
