Even if the closest you’ve ever been to a working farm is driving past one on any of South Africa’s highways, it is likely that the name Nampo is familiar.
Nampo is the name of a park in Bothaville in the Free State, which annually hosts an agricultural trade show. The full name is NAMPO Harvest Day and it is one of the largest privately owned agricultural exhibitions in the Southern Hemisphere.
The 2025 show took place over four days, 13- 16th May, and welcomed a record 87,191 visitors. Over 900 exhibitors showcased innovations in agriculture technology, livestock, farming equipment and everything else you would associate with farming and welcomed international exhibitors from the USA, Turkey, the UK and many other countries.
With so much modern farming relying on mechanisation, the presence of an oil company shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the need for lubricants and cleaning products of all kinds is paramount if unnecessary downtime through breakdowns is to be avoided.
Liqui Moly filled that gap, and it would be fair to say that the company enjoyed a hugely successful event, with demand for all types of products from their extensive range going through the roof.
This wasn’t the first time Liqui Moly had attended the show and the wisdom of a consistent presence was shown as many customers from last year returned this year to buy again and also understand what other solutions they could purchase to make their daily farming lives easier.
Of course, a stand at a trade show is nothing without knowledgeable staff on hand to listen to customers’ needs and walk them through the solutions on offer. In this, Liqui Moly excelled, and the hard-working staff barely had time to catch their breath over the four days. It was clear that visitors appreciated not only the fact that Liqui Moly was there but also that all their questions were answered as easily as their needs were satisfied.
