Small and large businesses are lauding the success of this year’s biannual Expo Jamaica, which ran from April 26-29.

Organised by the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association (JMA) and the Jamaica Exporters’ Association (JEA), in collaboration with JAMPRO, the four-day event was staged at the National Arena in St Andrew under the theme ‘Brand Jamaica’.

Hundreds of people turned out to view the offerings from the 200 companies showcasing more than 2,000 products.

First-timer to the expo, Solar Buzz Jamaica, won the award for Best Use of Technology in a Booth.

Chief Executive Officer Jason Robinson said they were quite happy with the response to their offerings on services and products to reduce and conserve energy.

“It really gave us a lot of exposure. In fact, as we speak, I’m just leaving the Ministry of Energy, which invited us to display the exact same expo booth set-up at the EEC (Energy Efficiency and Conservation) presentation today (yesterday) with Minister (Phillip) Paulwell,” said Robinson.

Robinson said since the expo ended on Sunday, they have been busy honouring commitments to clients, who had paid or signed up for energy assessments, as well as filling orders for residential and commercial clients for solar products.
