EVENT: OKI Europe Ltd at Paris Retail Week
We were asked by the French offices of OKI Europe Ltd to produce a branded Scalextric track to fit a certain space within their stand at the Paris Retail Show. We normally get asked to build tracks on a rectangle base so to produce one with a rounded front and angle ages was pretty fun not to mention taking the limited access for picking up fallen cars into account.
The Paris Retail Show is held over 3 days in the massive Porte de Versailles expo complex. We arrived a day before the launch, on the 23rd September, to setup and make sure everything was working as it should and of course let the staff have a few test runs on it before the public are aloud in.
The 3 days flew by with many people visiting the stand to have a go on the digital Scalextric track and try their luck at setting a record breaking time, and of course talk to the wonderful OKI sales staff.
Sebastian was our final winner and took the prize at the end of day 3 with an impressive 3.587 secs closely followed by Charly with a 3.650 secs – No match for some of the staff on the stand tho and their amazing times, not sure who DOUG is tho 😉
All in all a very productive and successful show for OKI and ourselves, and as a bonus I learnt a lot of French.
Au revoir jusqu’Ã la prochaine fois!
