Automechanika Shanghai 2010

Automechanika Shanghai 2010 extends to a four-day event

Increased exhibition space to cater for strong demand from exhibitors

China remains the world’s largest automobile market, offering abundant business opportunities in the aftermarket sector

Due to exhibitor and visitor demand, Automechanika Shanghai, Asia’s largest trade fair for automotive parts, equipment and service supplier is extending to a four-day event, running from 8 – 11 December 2010 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.  The fair is organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and the China National Automotive Industry International Corporation (CNAICO).

 “As the fair is becoming bigger and as exhibitors and visitors want to further maximise their opportunities during the show, Automechanika Shanghai 2010 will become a four-day event,” says Mr Jason Cao, General Manager, Messe Frankfurt Shanghai Co Ltd.

Having firmly established itself as the preferred sourcing destination for the automotive industry, Automechanika Shanghai has not been affected by the global economic slowdown.  In 2009 exhibitor numbers increased 22 percent to a record high of 2,414 exhibitors.  They came from 24 countries and regions to showcase their latest products on 103,500 sqm of exhibition space.  Visitor numbers increased 25 percent to record-breaking 38,551 visitors from 132 countries and regions. Half of the visitors had full purchasing authority.
