The American Midwest’s energy and convenience industry event of the year took place at the Indiana Convention Center, downtown in Indianapolis and welcomed hundreds of exhibitors and visitors from March 22 to 24. Known as M-PACT 2016, the show is the largest gathering place in the Midwest for energy and convenience industry leaders.
This annual event brought together more than 4,500 professionals representing the entire spectrum of today’s diverse energy and convenience supply chain. Amongst the newcomers to this year’s show was Toronto, Canada-based Transcourt Tank Leasing, one of North-America’s leading tank trailer solutions providers.
Transcourt has been expanding operations in the US market and started by opening offices in Lansing IL and more recently in Houston TX. The company plans on opening more offices soon in other strategic locations.
Transcourt’s participation in M-PACT 2016 offered an ideal opportunity to meet with participants from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. It was among nearly 600 exhibitors showcasing the latest products, services, and technologies. The show also featured 15 thought-provoking educational sessions presented by the industry’s most skilled trainers.
“As the advertising went, M-PACT 2016 delivered participants a unique, once-a-year opportunity to propel their careers—and their businesses—forward,” says Robert Pahanich, Transcourt’s vice-president of US business development. “After concentrating our efforts in the South where we knew our knowledge of the oil industry would help us with many customers, we took advantage of M-PACT to further our understanding of where we should concentrate our efforts in the Midwest. Judging by the reaction of visitors, our expertise in the tank trailer field and the services we offer resulted in several very promising leads.”
Transcourt had been planning for many years to enter the US market and when the Canadian oil industry started to decline, the company decided the time was right to foray south of the border. Starting from a centrally located office in Lansing, Transcourt made inroads down south. The promising results prompted Robert Pahanich and his team to use M-PACT 2016 to make Transcourt’s product and services better known in the Midwest states.
