Record Exhibitor Numbers at Tyrexpo Asia’07

Russia’s Alimark Ltd has become the 140th exhibitor to sign up for September’s TyrexpoAsia exhibition in Singapore, breaking all records for the show as it approaches its 10th anniversary. One of Tyrexpo Asia’s strengths has always been the diversity of its exhibitor base.

2007 will be the biggest and most international to date with over 140 exhibitors representing 24 different countries covering an area of approximately 6000 square metres. Amongst these are the major players in the tyre industry offering the widest range of products and services available in the industry.

There are many exhibitors making repeat appearances at Tyrexpo Asia’07, but equally there are many first-time attendees. Of particular interest this year is the participation of over 35 Chinese exhibitors to the show to date, confirming the importance and value the exhibition has to a wider international market.

Since China’s Techking Tires became the 100th company to register as an exhibitor in May, more than 40 tyre and equipment specialists have joined them, pushing up floor space to over 6000 square metres. Amongst the latest exhibitors are: Alimark, Agarwal, Austyre, Cincinnati Retread Systems, Crown Tyre, Far East Rubber Trading, Fenix, Gaither Tool Co, Heuver Banden, Heyi Commerce & Trade, Koprulu, Nexen, Protector Tyres, Qingdao Quizhou Rubber, Sin Hon Hwa, Sobati Tyres, Starco Europe, Top Alloy Manufacturing, Treadsetters, Tyretred, VMI-AZ Extrusion, World Dynamics Int. Development.

Ms Kathy Lai, assistant CEO of International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, will be Guest of Honour when the show opens its doors at the Singapore Expo Centre on the 11th September and will perform the official opening ceremony for September’s tenth anniversary Tyrexpo Asia exhibition.

IE Singapore is a Ministry of Trade and Industry agency which spearheads the development of Singapore’s external economy. Its mission is to promote the overseas growth of Singapore-based enterprises and encourage international trade.

Paul Farrant, managing director for Tyrexpo Asia organiser ECI International, welcomed the support of the influential business organisation: “The show has always received excellent recognition from the Singaporean authorities and we welcome the confirmation that Kathy Lai will be our official Guest of Honour in September.

Singapore is recognised as a major international business and conference location with many new and innovative developments taking place over the next couple of years including the F1 Grand Prix scheduled for 2008. This will further endorse the city’s global status as a dynamic and strategic destination.

With the guaranteed involvement of suppliers from around the world, extensive marketing activity is also in full swing to attract local and international visitors to the three-day show.
