SIM 2009

In October, 2009 COBRA Europe exhibited in the 58th show of SIM (Company of the Mineral Industry);

which took place this year at MULHOUSE (68, France), region with an important mining past.

In spite of the crisis the show topped up exhibitors (240) and visitors.

COBRA exposed some samples of DEPREUX belts, TRANSCO belts and INDI belts, GO smart fasteners,

and a MOSSIER Press UNIK 800.

Some customers took advantage of their visit on the SIM to visit our production site at LUXEUIL (only 100 km distance).

Next year the SIM will take place in October, 2010 in NANTES (44, France).

In SEPTEMBER 2009, COBRA America exhibited in the The Bluefield Coal Show at Bluefield (West Virginia).

The Bluefield Coal Show is the largest exhibition of underground mining equipment in the Eastern United States.

This biannual event draws thousands of coal industry insiders and gives hundreds of vendors the opportunity to showcase their latest products and innovations.

COBRA America displayed products in two locations, utilizing our new outside booth location for customer demos and showcasing the Mossier Vulcanizers.

Our primary inside booth featured our Depreux belts and Go Smart/Goro fasteners and accessories.

We believe the best part of this event is the ability to interact directly with our current and future end users, discuss their needs and how we can work together to fulfill them.
