Voices of the industry:

Portrait of Christian Hark
"The most important thing for me as the sales responsible for all of Europe is being able to meet with all the important European and international distributors. Almost all of them were here – it is a great chance to meet them all within a few days. It’s the most important show in Europe."
Christian Hark, Sales Responsible Europe at Sig Sauer (USA)
Portrait of Luis Dirmeier
"The most important thing for us in the show is to meet with existing customers and also to try and gain some new customers, and I would say that in general the quality of the customers here at IWA is way better than at some other show that I have done."
Luis J. Dirmeier, Sales Development Representative at Schmidt und Bender (Germany)
Portrait of Lewis Ramsey
"We actually hadn’t exhibited here since before the pandemic, so this is our first time back after a few years, but to be honest, it has been absolutely fantastic. We have been dealing with a number of existing customers while we have been here, touching base with them and building relationships, but there has also been an influx of interest from potential new customers."
Lewis Ramsey, UK Sales bei Gamebore (UK)
Portrait of Rob Smith
"IWA OutdoorClassics has consistently proven to be a highly productive and well-organized event, reinforcing its importance as a key international trade show for our industry. The quality of attendees is always strong, with meaningful discussions taking place across the show floor. Gun Trade World has received fantastic feedback year after year, and it is always great to connect with so many industry professionals who are passionate about growing their businesses. The event continues to be an essential platform for networking, innovation, and business development within the global gun trade."
Rob Smith, Editor in Chief Gun Trade Insider and Gun Trade World (UK)
