CNCROi.com exhibiting at the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum (Calgary, AB, CANADA)

I’m slowly getting all our ducks in a row for our attendance as an exhibitor to the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum being held in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) this year on the 28th of October 2015 at the BMO Center.

What are we doing at the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum?

We do a lot of metal tags of all kinds, brass to stainless steel, polycarbonate to laminate but there is one sector that I’d like to get further into and meet key contacts within, and that’s the energy sector. Within one year of founding, CNCROi.com already has an impressive list of clients, including some that are household names… but we can always do more, more outreach, more contacts and provide more unique solutions to companies across Canada and the world.

This is easily the most expensive one-day event I’ve attended thus far but I’m a gambling man and I’m hoping to find the best customers looking for the best custom CNC shop in Canada.

The Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum build-up?

Being a custom CNC shop means we can make all our own promotional items, from small acrylic keychains to custom coasters that can hold oil (though for safety, that may be a bad idea)… and the list goes on. This means that I’ll be showing their production here on this blog and if you attend the event, be sure to introduce yourself so I can give you something.

The first thing the booth will need is something big that stands-out… right now, I’m thinking of bringing my flat packed Eiffel Tower that I designed and cut along with the sign you see higher-up on this blog post of course. These two items are easy to carry and pack a big punch when put together, easily fitting in carry-on… on purpose, that’s why I made them that scale!

I have more than enough samples in the shop to augment these to attract eyes and break the ice with customers so the next step is building something nice, flat and presentable to “hold” them all in place. I’m still debating how best to do this but I’ll think of something. The Eiffel Tower doesn’t “scream” Canadian Energy Supply Chain to me so, if I have time, I might come-up with another model to showcase our custom design capabilities or make something specific to energy and Calgary.

List of things we can do for the energy sector

Although the list is endless, here are some specific things we can design and product for energy sector (Canada, USA and worldwide!)

• Custom valve tags in brass, stainless steel, laminate and/or anodized aluminum with integrated QR codes for quick and efficient tracking of where the tag is and where it is going. This helps tracking things from rentals to locations of various items across a large and dirty area. Depending on the material, the tags would be engraved, annealed, marked or etched.
  .
• Custom promotional items from keychains to coasters in pretty much any material you want to give to key clients or get your foot in the door with key suppliers… we are not only a custom CNC shop but also a customer of our own wares too! We do this all the time and it works! The holidays are coming-up and a card just doesn’t cut it, give them something that they will KEEP for years to come!
  .
• Scale models for educational or promotional purposes. If you want to have something unique at your HQ, let us design and build it for you to your exact specs! It can be something as simple as a corporate installation that showcases the history of your company to something where there is interactivity involved, meaning they push knob A and B happens further down the line.
  .
• Brand everything! From the tiles on your showroom to custom furniture with Formica inlays in your lobby, there really isn’t anything that we can’t permanently etch, engrave, mark or cut to your marketing benefit.
  .
• You tell us! Some of our best ideas come from our own clients, they have a vague idea and through brainstorming, we create a rendering and then physical prototype which leads to a finished product good enough to begin a production run with. It takes a little getting use to when a company offers you whatever you want instead of a standard catalog of products but once they get the hang of it, magic happens for all involved!

I’m happy you, the blog reader, have been able to join me on this journey, if you want more information about the shop and myself, how I got into all of this, I got just the book for you… got to get into the selling mood! Until then, if you need anything custom, contact us!
