and the 2016 show is already upon us,” says
Dhimes. “As we start thinking about booth
design and décor, choice of products to dis-
play and what customers will be looking for,
we also start pondering about our company’s
goals for attending this year’s show.”
Brad Cox, director of sales and market-
ing for Trion Industries, based in Wilkes-
Barre, Pa., says his company regularly attends
GlobalShop for a number of reasons, not
the least of which is making and maintain-
ing face-to-face relationships. Officials from
Trion also use the show as a platform to intro-
duce new products and better understand
customer needs. “GlobalShop gives our cus-
tomers the opportunity to see and touch what
we have to offer as well as see what’s new in the
industry,” says Cox.
Officials at Dana Industries say attending
GlobalShop provides the opportunity to feature the company’s shelf talkers, introduce
new products and services and create solutions for attendees’ in-store needs. “Retailers
appreciate and see our passion, plus they can
learn about our company’s unique capabilities,” says Roopjot Derose, marketing manager for the Toronto-based company.
Marco Prete, general manager of Midway
Displays, says the Bedford Park, Ill.-based
company exhibits at GlobalShop because it is
the single largest source for decision makers to
find merchandising solutions for their prod-
ucts. “GlobalShop, being the largest venue of
its type, makes it our best way to connect with
the industry,” he says. “Our goal is to intro-
duce our goods and services to, and connect
with potential companies that will benefit
from our products, by reaching all facets of
the retail arena.”
Industry observers say, if for no other rea-
son, retailers should attend GlobalShop to see
the wide range of products and services avail-
able to the retail industry. Whether retailers
are looking for store display fixtures, visual
merchandising, digital solutions, in-store
marketing, flooring, lighting or all of the
above—it is all available at GlobalShop.
The following is a sampling of exhibitors
and the products and services they will be

The big news officials at Oakland, N.J.-based
Amerlux will be sharing with attendees at
GlobalShop is their recent partnership with
Enlighted. Chuck Campagna, president and
CEO of Amerlux, says that this new agreement will enable Amerlux LED lighting fixtures to be fitted with Enlighted’s lighting
sensors and controls.
Enlighted’s sensors are engineered with
secure, data-rich architecture designed to
provide unparalleled insights around the
clock, while helping to achieve sustainability
goals and reducing costs. The controls offer
motion and photometric sensors, dimming
capabilities and data collection. The system
has the potential to extend savings to HVAC,
real-time demand response, security and
safety systems.
“This will give our customers the ability to
have leading edge, control-embedded lighting that’s smart and code-compliant, while
its efficiencies will dramatically impact their
bottom line,” says Campagna.
