METSTRADE, the world's largest trade exhibition of leisure marine equipment, materials and systems, officially opens today and runs through Thursday in Amsterdam. This year the NMMA U.S.A. Pavilion features more than 60 member companies at the annual Marine Equipment Trade Show (METSTRADE) with several first-time exhibitors. Eleven of the participating member companies are exhibiting in the U.S.A. Pavilion for the first time: Bennett Marine, CE Smith Company, Carbiepoles, DS18 Audio, Flitz International, Kicker Marine Audio, Magic Tilt Trailers, Porta Products Corporation, Revolve Technology, Rockford Fosgate and SleekTEAK.

"Historically the NMMA U.S.A. Pavilion acted as an incubator for member companies that were new to both exporting and METSTRADE," said Jennifer Thompson, NMMA's senior vice president of shows. "Companies would find distribution in foreign markets and graduate out of the Pavilion. However, that has changed and many now return annually because of the value they see in exhibiting in the Pavilion."

Member companies exhibiting in the Pavilion get to take advantage of pre-show planning and logistical support, multiple networking and business opportunities specific to the pavilion, daily coffee and snack service, private meeting space and NMMA onsite support from staff.
