In September, DMP Réunion and MIM Mayotte, subsidiaries of the Potier group and exclusive DEVELON dealers, organised the latest edition of their annual event, XTREM PRO 2024. For this special year, DMP welcomed nearly 1000 visitors to the islands of Réunion and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean, in a friendly and professional atmosphere, demonstrating once again their central role in the construction and materials handling sector in the Indian Ocean.
A Festive Launch to Mark the Start of the Trade Fairs
For the first time, the XTREM PRO event kicked off with an exclusive evening cocktail reception, attended by 380 customers in Réunion and almost 100 in Mayotte. The event provided an opportunity to strengthen ties between DMP, MIM and their customers in a relaxed and professional atmosphere, while showcasing DEVELON's new products through informal discussions.
Pierre Le Merle, the Potier Group's Development Director for La Réunion and all its subsidiaries, explained: "XTREM PRO 2024 is a success that reflects not only the excellence of our products, but also our ability to rally building and civil engineering professionals around our vision. These open days have become a must for building and civil engineering professionals in Réunion and Mayotte. The evening was an ideal opportunity to launch our exhibitions in a friendly atmosphere, in the presence of our loyal customers. This type of event is essential for maintaining links with our partners and sharing our vision.
