In 2011, OTC broke attendance records with more than 78,000 attendees from 120 countries attending the conference.
"The conference brings together people from the oil and gas industry globally making it an ideal opportunity for T&B to meet and discuss issues they face," said Paul Gretton, marketing manager, Oil & Gas EMEA.
Recognizing the importance of enhancing our presence in global oil and gas markets, T&B brought a global team to the show with representatives from the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the United Kingdom. Likewise, our message was all about global solutions: Global Products — Global Certifications — Global Support. Among the brands represented were Homac® , Blackburn® , Color-Keyed® , DTS, Hazlux® , Emergi-Lite® , Ocal® , Russelstoll® , Cyberex® , Joslyn Hi-Voltage® and Kopex.
"OTC is more than a conference; it's a cultural trade show event for the oilfield," said Mark Nowak, T&B's manager of market development, Oil & Gas, U.S. & Latin America. "Talking face-to-face with customers is a great marketing opportunity, especially with customers from overseas. This event allowed us to increase awareness of our brands and capabilities both domestically and abroad."
The oil and gas market is a truly global market and Thomas & Betts offers products that meet the electrical codes of various countries. For example, Hazlux® is approved for use in markets that operate under the National Electric Code (NEC) installation practices, as required in the United States, and DTS fixtures are approved for markets that operate under the international ATEX (Atmosphere Explosive) code.
