With over 700 square metres of the exhibition space dedicated to international representation, SALTEX is a global stage for the latest developments in grounds care.
Additionally, visitors from Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Nepal, and Iceland have already registered, further increasing the event’s global reach.
Cathy Kropff, Co-founder of American-based Bulldog Field Equipment who have over 45 years of experience in sports field management, said: “We are thrilled to make our European debut at SALTEX 2024 and connect with fellow sports field and grounds professionals.
“As a small, family-owned business specialising in durable sports field equipment, we look forward to showcasing our products and forging new partnerships to enhance sports field maintenance.”
Sarah Hunter, Head of Events at the Grounds Management Association, said: “It’s fantastic to see such a vast range of international representation at this year’s exhibition. Every year, we see more and more professionals from around the world coming together to share ideas and learn from each other.
“This sense of unity is what makes SALTEX so special – it’s not just about showing the latest advancements, but also about growing meaningful connections within the industry.”
Trent Guyer, VP of Marketing at Grasshopper Mowers, said: “I look forward each year to SALTEX on my calendar because it’s my opportunity to connect with prospects, network with colleagues and catch up with friends. Since we’re based in the US, these opportunities to gather everyone in one room are few, thus so important.”
