This new category is Motor Vehicle Service, which joins the existing Technology & Products, Service Concepts & Process Optimisation and Environmental & Resource Conservation awards in 2014.

Industry divided over Essen/Cologne as preferred tyre show site

The survey results weren’t quite as close as those for the referendum in Essen, Germany, where a “majority” of 50.4 per cent voted against renovations to the Messe Essen site. Yet there was also no clear majority in the survey held in Germany by our sister publication Neue Reifenzeitung, and only slightly more respondents voted in favour of a tyre exhibition in Cologne as opposed to Essen, where the Reifen show is currently held.

“The Tire Cologne” – details of show to rival “Reifen” announced

, ,

Between 29 May and 1 June 2018, a new exhibition aimed at the international tyre industry will take place in Germany. “The Tire Cologne”, as the show will be called, will be supported by current Reifen show main sponsor the BRV (the German Federal Association of the Tyre Trade and the Vulcanisers’ Skilled Trade), and the plan is to hold the event every two years. Regular Reifen exhibition visitors may already note that the dates for The Tire Cologne coincide with this year’s show week in Essen and, presumably, those planned for future events – a sign that the BRV and Koelnmesse consider the future Cologne trade exhibition the heir apparent to the European tyre show throne.

Reifen show move not linked to Essen site plans

,

As reported yesterday, The Reifen show looks set to find a new home in Cologne from 2018 onwards. The reason local publication the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung gave for this change of location after half a century in the German city of Essen was the local referendum on renovation plans for the Messe Essen site – 50.4 per cent of residents voted against the €120 million investment to modernise the exhibition facility. However our German sister publication Neue Reifenzeitung has learned that the move to Cologne would have occurred no matter what the referendum’s outcome was.

‘Reifen’ show moving to Cologne

,

The trip to Essen every two years has been a fixture for those active in the tyre industry within Europe and beyond for around half a century, but as of 2018 the renowned Reifen exhibition will have a new home some 45 miles away. The show’s organiser took the decision to leave the city synonymous with the exhibition after plans to modernise the ‘Messe Essen’ site were turned down by a local referendum on 19 January.
