compagnon in NYC - PhotoPlus Expo

Our daily work at compagnon's headquarters reminds us time and again how small the world has become these days. Even international compagnon customers, partners and friends of our brand can be reached in the blink of an eye. Contact can be established at the touch of a button. So you would think that the compagnon product experience could be brought to every creative user in the world just as easily.

But we have now learned that some things can only be believed if you can see them with your own eyes and feel them for yourself. The special feel and quality of our products is definitely one of these things. So when the opportunity arose for us to take part in the PhotoPlus Expo 2018 in New York City, we couldn't and wouldn't hesitate. Conversely, this means that just 3 weeks after our return from photokina, we are already leaving our home in the Black Forest again. Once again to inspire you with compagnon on site. This is how we bring our products and as much compagnon lifestyle as possible directly to you in the Big Apple.

You've never heard of the PhotoPlus Expo? It's the largest and most important photography and imaging trade show in North America. Here you can be one of over 25,000 photographers, enthusiasts, filmmakers and students of the creative arts who come to learn about the latest trends and products in the creative industry. In addition to 250 brands and manufacturers, such as compagnon, there will be 100 educational seminars, photo walks and master classes for visitors to attend. And all this from October 25 to 27 at the Javits Center in Manhattan, NYC.

compagnon goes America. Admittedly, not for the first time. Over 3 years ago, we made the trip from the East Coast to the blue Pacific in the West to present our products to retailers in person. However, compagnon has changed and developed massively since then. We always knew that our vision of first-class European craftsmanship, naturally tanned leather from Germany and a practical, functional user experience in a beautiful guise could win many hearts in the USA. And even if we didn't take the nation by storm on our first try, we haven't stopped working on it. To be ready one day. Back then, we made a movie about the first time compagnon landed in the US. If you haven't seen the short film yet, you can watch it here:

And now we're back. And we can say with confidence: we are better than ever. This also applies to our current lineup of camera bags and backpacks. We'll be showing you in person the great details and unique look of our products at booth 968. We're also looking forward to having compagnon Ambassador (and New Yorker by choice) Matt Granger visit us live at the Expo.

If you're a photo and/or video enthusiast, (semi-)professional creator, artist or creative traveler, you owe it to yourself to experience compagnon Live. We are also looking forward to meeting retailers and distribution partners across the country for the North American market to bring the love for compagnon to the States and look forward to a successful future together.
See you in Manhattan!
