DST for sales
DST Südwest in Villingen-Schwenningen takes place every two years in spring and is the trade fair for turning, milling and machining. It is compact and aimed at the south-west: Baden-Württemberg, the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura lie within its catchment area.
What Kodo makes of it
Kodo matches every exhibitor to a company and separates machine dealers and tool suppliers from manufacturers. For the manufacturers, Kodo adds what they turn and mill, which industries they supply and whether a new hall or open positions are coming. The result is on your salesperson's conversation list, with contact and source.
