Either way, we’re focused on helping your company engage in the dynamic Turkish market in a manner that best aligns with your marketing needs.
"We have exhibited at Milipol twice. Once on our own and then once in the US Pavilion with the Kallman group. We got far greater exposure and support by being associated with Kallman and the US Pavilion than we did going it alone. It is a great way to leverage a limited budget and a small stand and we plan to continue working with them in the future."

"I’ve never received such great support at a show! International shows have their added challenges, and Kallman clearly knows how to adapt and take care of the booth teams in attendance. We’ve had numerous comments from the upper management on the great booth design. All agree the custom work you did was perfect in showcasing our products and services. Looking forward to working more shows together! Thank you to you and your team."
