Tyrexpo Asia 2004 – A Resounding Success

In view of what has been happening in the fastidious world of tyre shows recently, it is refreshing to report on a successful venture. Of the four Asian tyre exhibitions to date, the Tyrexpo held in Singapore 17th-19th February was by far the best and, bearing in mind the various difficulties necessitating the postponement for six months because of the SARS outbreak, a triumphant achievement for the organisers ECI International. The show had a very strong international attendance both from an exhibitor and visitor perspective.

A total attendance of close-on 3,000 from over 60 countries far exceeded most exhibitors expectations. The buying and negotiating power of visitors was also favourably commented on. Those seeking new technology were not disappointed and there were also a number of innovative products on show.

The next Tyrexpo Asia will be from the 13th to 15th September 2005 and ECI advised us that many of the exhibitors from this year’s show have already rebooked stands. A full report on Tyrexpo Asia 2004 will appear in the April edition of TYRES & ACCESSORIES. .
