Exhibition organisation company ECI International has announced dates for the forthcoming 2014 British tyre exhibition, Brityrex International, which will run from 7 – 9 October 2014. Like the last edition of the show, the 2014 event will once again be held at the EventCity exhibition centre in Manchester.
Exhibition organiser ECI International has confirmed that tyre and workshop equipment exhibition Tyrexpo Africa will return to the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg on 4-6 March 2014. Managing director, Paul Farrant, said: “We are delighted to confirm that Tyrexpo Africa will once again be returning to the Sandton Convention Centre, which has proved to be an excellent host venue for the show since it was first launched in 2006.
South Africa is on the verge of introducing a levy on all tyres manufactured in, or imported into the country in order to finance the creation of a waste tyre collection network. REDISA (Recycling Economic Development Initiative of South Africa) is a government approved scheme to establish a sustainable waste tyre collection infrastructure for South Africa. The financial levy of Rand 2.3 (0.22 Euros) per kilogram of manufactured or imported product, will apply to all tyres, including those fitted to imported equipment, from the beginning of February this year.
The fourth Tyrexpo Africa exhibition will take place from 6-8 March, 2012. Automotive aftermarket exhibition organiser ECI International also confirmed that the popular tyre trade and garage equipment show, Tyrexpo Africa, will return to Johannesburg at the Sandton Convention Centre. “2012 will be the fourth staging of Tyrexpo Africa and we are confident that the show will continue to grow and establish itself as the premier tyre and garage equipment trade event of its kind in southern Africa,” says ECI managing director Paul Farrant.
The ‘full house’ signs went up at Tyrexpo Africa ’08 this week as organisers of the international tyre and equipment show found room for a clutch of final exhibitors for the 4-6 March event in Johannesburg’s Sandton Convention Centre. Selling all of the available stand space means that the show will offer visitors around eight per cent more companies to talk to (over 100 in total) and 10 per cent more floor space to cover, compared to the inaugural show back in 2006. More than 20 different countries will be represented at the international gathering, with southern African, Chinese and Indian suppliers providing the largest numbers of exhibitors.
Hercules Tire International president, Joe Recchia, has announced that the Canada-based company will use its Tyrexpo Africa exhibit to three new SUV lines. “We are kicking off 2008 with the announcement of three new SUV lines and an exciting new UHP tyre currently in development,” Joe Recchia told Tyres & Accessories. “Our Ironman Radial AP, Merit All Country AT & Hercules MR IV SUV tyres are all fantastic additions to our SUV line. It’s been an incredible year,” he continued, adding: “Hercules Tire International has never looked better!”
Hercules recently announced far reaching plans to become a global operation by opening a number of regional offices in strategic markets around the world. The first was opened at the end of last year and will serve the Latin American and Caribbean markets. Next up are offices in the Middle East, South East Asia and Europe.

In addition to taking advance registrations, show organiser ECI has launched a major promotional drive to market the show to tyre industry professionals in Africa and around the world. Over the next four months, more than 80,000 free-entry visitor tickets will be distributed to potential delegates via an extensive campaign featuring direct mail, trade press advertising, ticket inserts and exhibitor mailings. In addition to the mainstream tyre industries, the exhibition will target interest from the important mining, quarrying and industrial tyre markets.
ECI sales director Rowena Suthers says that the drive to attract visitors is a vital stage in the build up to the exhibition: “Our visitor marketing campaign is now in full swing with just four full months to go before the exhibition opens its doors. We’ll be distributing around 80,000 tickets to trade buyers who we think will have an interest in attending Tyrexpo Africa.
After more than a quarter of a century since the last tyre show in the country, the recent Tyrexpo Africa 2006 held in South Africa was a great success. Based at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg, more than a hundred national and international exhibitors took part, including Michelin, Bandag and Vipal as well as many international wholesalers. The show’s floorspace was sold out. The organisers, ECI, were optimistic about the response to the show and said that the next step is to follow this exhibition with an even bigger event in 2008. The first comments from exhibitors sounded positive. The exact visitor statistics will be published later this week.
The inaugural Tyrexpo Africa exhibition will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, from 12 – 14 September and is the latest event in the portfolio of ECI International, following on from Tyrexpo Asia (based in Singapore) and Brityrex International (UK).
