“Frankly, I can’t remember vendors signing up this early and I’ve been around for at least 30 of the shows,” AASP/NJ President Jeff McDowell says. “They seem anxious and excited about the show and we couldn’t be more thrilled.”
The list of early sign-ups include Accudraft Spray Booths, Aeromotive, American Honda, Auto Body Distributing Inc, BASF, CCC Information Services, Flemington Car & Truck Country, Ikotec, International Epoxies & Sealers, Integrity Security Systems, Jaspar Engines, LKQ Corporation, Maxon Mazda/Hyundai, Mitchell International, Metropolitan Car-O-Liner, Model Electronics, Nissan, Norgate Tech Inc., Omnique Shop Management Software, Silver Sail Paints, Steck Manufacturing, TEAM PRP, The Radiator Store, Valspar, Urethane Supply Company and USI of North America.
McDowell feels the growing success and interest in the show has been ongoing since the show moved back to New Jersey. “Every show we’ve done since we moved to the MEC has grown,” he says. “Some were baby steps and some were big steps. But the bottom line is, the NORTHEAST™ show is becoming the show to go to east of the Mississippi. We’ve spent 36 years building this brand and it keeps getting better and better. The 2014 show will be the best yet.”
