Exhibitor comments from the 2011 show include:

 
Electro Mechanica's director Les Davids
"This has been an extremely productive event for us as we have generated many new clientele and made many important business contacts. The high volume of people that have visited the exhibition, and the fact that these visitors have been key decision-making personnel, has more than vindicated our decision to exhibit at the KwaZulu Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition".

 
Future Packaging KZN's Managing Director Peter Gow
"The high quality of exhibitors that is present at this year's KwaZulu Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition has attracted the right kind of visitors, and for us the excellent business networking opportunities afforded by this event is one of the main reasons we have been back for a fourth consecutive time. We will most definitely be back in 2013!"

 
Durban Chamber of Commerce's Chief Executive Andrew Layman
The KwaZulu Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition has been described as providing a considerable boost to business networking within the province’s industrial technology sector, with Layman commenting that "networking is the least expensive form of marketing, and exhibitions such as this provide wonderful opportunities for doing so". Layman also said that "networking is often facilitated when it occurs within a sectoral or niche environment as the participants all already have something in common. Therefore, the selective preparation for constructive networking is already in place at a specialist event like the KwaZulu Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition".
