Automechanika 2010 ‘Defies the Crisis’

The promoter of Automechanika 2010 reports that this year’s fair is defying the crisis. The number of registrations received for the exhibition to date has exceeded all expectations, reports Messe Frankfurt. With still over a year to go, registrations have been received for a significantly greater exhibition space – altogether more than 100,000 square metres – than at the comparable time before the last event.

“Taking part in leading international trade fairs seems to be essential even in times of budget cuts and consolidation”, says Thomas Aukamm, director of Automechanika Frankfurt, evaluating the number of registrations as a clear vote of confidence in the show. “Despite the difficult economic situation, most companies are looking to the future and say that they want to be there when the international automotive sector meets in Frankfurt next year.”
