Saltex early adopter Vitax Amenity have heaped praise on the show after recording major success at the event.

Sales and marketing manager Mike King booked stand space almost as soon as he heard of the move to the NEC - faith that has been more than justified, he says. "The IOG has got everything right: A two-day show, attracting high-calibre visitors to a centrally located venue."

Products flew off the stand, he adds: "Our offer of a Briteliner Arrow linemarking machine and SupaStadia marking paints was a real hit, and we had massive interest in the Supaturf SWOZI GPS-guided linemarking system as well as our new range of artificial surface paints. The buzz extended right through the first day and well into the second, keeping us busy from early doors to close."

This year has been one of major product innovation for Vitax Amenity. Featuring prominently at the show was the new TFS25 tank-free spray marking machine - a clean, convenient way of spraying directly from the drum, while the acclaimed Briteliner Arrow, hailed in independent field tests, continued to sell strongly, alongside firm favourite the TXE 606 and the new EvenSprey Club boom sprayer, already making its mark with grounds professionals.

Stand visitors welcomed the introduction of the Supaturf superior-performing artificial turf paint system, seen for the first time at SALTEX, that's easy to apply for both permanent and temporary demands.

Vitax salt spreaders and Ice Free, with its efficient penetrating action, are on groundcare teams' radar, along with the complete range of turf treatments for applying in the months ahead and throughout the year.
