Automechanika Thailand 2010 Postponed

The third Automechanika Thailand scheduled for March 2010 has been postponed, apparently due to Thailand’s political situation and the effect of the global financial crisis on the automotive market. Show organisers Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Ipex (International Promotion & Exhibition Co Ltd), announced the postponement on 8 May 2009 when Stephan Buurma, managing director of Messe Frankfurt Asia Holding Ltd said: “In light of the prolonged political circumstances and the slumping automotive market affected by the current economic climate, we have opted to postpone this show. We trust that it is the best solution to all parties concerned despite the fact that previous shows were well-received by the industry. We will monitor the situation closely and reschedule the show at a more appropriate time.” cja
