During the four-day show, Clay Paky's stand was constantly crowded with countless industry professionals from every continent. The demo area in particular was literally "taken by storm". Although over 30 demos were held, both in English and German, they were always "sold-out", forcing many determined latecomers to watch the demonstrations from the passageways alongside the booth.
This was no doubt due to the new products on show - the B-EYE, the SuperSharpy and the Stormy - and the ability of Clay Paky's lighting designer, Marco Zucchinali, to put on a highly impressive light show.
"Once again we have managed to come up with truly innovative products," Pio Nahum said with satisfaction. "The trade professionals have responded enthusiastically, exactly as we expected. Our company's policy is clear to everyone: develop innovative concepts and quality products to scoop the competition, especially the competition from the Chinese market. When the first 'clones' of our latest successful light start to arrive, we are ready to launch yet another major new product."
