A 28-year-old purchasing and logistics specialist from Lübbecke, Germany will soon be taking the trip of a lifetime to join the US fastener industry at its biggest annual expo in Las Vegas.
“It took a couple of days and several phone calls before I really believed I was the winner of such an incredible prize,” says Robert Loewe, who works for Daniel Schrauben GmbH. Robert was the lucky winner of the visitors’ competition at this year’s Fastener Fair, Stuttgart sponsored by Goebel GmbH from Erkrath in Germany.
Directors Marcel and Dennis Goebel were at the Fair, together with Fastener Fair director, Jamie Mitchell, to confirm it was really all true. While at the show Robert was also able to take a look at a record breaking 624 fastener, fixings and manufacturing technology exhibitors from across the world.
“Our company is a wholesaler for all kinds of fasteners, founded by Mr Daniel in 1985. We have over 100 employees working out our headquarters in Lübbecke and in our store in Eickendorf, where we also CNC manufacture parts. We supply customers all over the world.”
“That makes the Fastener Fair a really important show for us but I never dreamed that, by registering to visit the fair, I would end up with a trip to Las Vegas!”
Robert and a friend will visit the National Industrial Fastener Show/West at the Mandalay Bay South Convention Centre. Through the generosity of the National Industrial Fastener Show, their base will be a luxury suite at THE Hotel, right next to the convention centre and a short monorail trip from the heart of the glittering Las Vegas strip.
And Robert? He’s still smiling, “I can’t wait to start this amazing trip to Las Vegas.”
