Over the last decade China’s tyre industry has worked hard to overcome the scepticism of many market observers in the West, and today the country boasts a number of brands established as credible players in Europe and North America. Their journey to domestic and international success has been aided by Chinese trade shows, including the annual China International Tire Expo, or CITExpo show. In September, the tenth edition of CITExpo took place in Shanghai. Speaking with Tyres & Accessories at its conclusion, the managing director of the company behind CITExpo reported a very successful show.
