During M&T Expo 2012 - the 8th International Trade Fair for Construction Equipment and 6th International Trade Fair for Mining Equipment, show organizer Sobratema promoted a ‘Cultural Contest’ among visitors to the show who were asked to answer: Why is ‘Revista M&T’ your magazine for the sector of equipment and ‘Revista Grandes Construções’ your magazine for the sector of infrastructure construction?
 
Hundreds of people deposited their entries into a ballot box on display at the association’s stand and the two contestants who submitted the best phrases would each receive an iPad tablet. After thorough analysis, Sobratema today presented the two winners with their prizes.  

Winner #1 - Escad Rental sales representative Wellington Feitosa (photo below, left) of Parauapebas in the state of Pará won his iPad with the answer: ‘Because they’re the magazines that inform with responsibility and transparency; factors that are fundamental for efficient decision making under any situation’.
 
According to Wellington, winning the iPad was a surprise and he was very happy for having taken advantage of the opportunity. “Even though I work in Pará, I have the opportunity to receive the magazine at our office and articles by email, and without a doubt the content is very relevant to my area of activity since it provides information of extreme importance on construction projects, economic policies relevant to our sector, investment by private enterprise and equipment fleet management, among other topics. The magazine provides information that is not just important to those who work in construction, mining and infrastructure like me, but to all those who are interested in what’s new and who seek new alternatives and opportunities for investment in the market,” he states.

And he adds: “I would like to congratulate Sobratema for holding the show and for its initiative in interacting with all the show’s visitor through this contest. I’m sure that each event like this one marks our personal and professional trajectories; for sure this one has marked mine, and I hope to have the opportunity to participate in more events like M&T EXPO 2012,” he says very appreciatively.  
 

Winner #2 - Pablo Gouvêa (photo below, first from right to left) of RioMar Consultoria Marítima, which represents Jereh - a Chinese company, ensured his iPad with the answer:  ‘Besides informing accurately, the magazines have qualified readers and they get right to the point, generating business and leveraging Brazil.’ Coming in straight from Rio de Janeiro, Pablo received his iPad tablet from the hands of Sobratema vice president Paulo Oscar Auler Neto (photo below, second from right to left) at the headquarters of the association in the city of São Paulo.

“This was my first visit to M&T Expo and I was amazed at the grandiosity of this event. I was ready familiar with Revista Grandes Construções and now Revista M&T (Maintenance and Technology). They are complete magazines that add a lot to our work. The opportunity to get to know the show, the new technologies, the professionals and the entire complex of the construction sector all in the same place was very important,” concludes Paulo.
