The news comes as a major confidence
boost for the automotive trade and UK
economy as the event, which has been
running at Birmingham NEC since 2016,
continues to attract the highest profile
names from within the global automotive
industry.
Jack continued: “We’ve seen an increase in
registrations from across the industry and
this, combined with our close collaboration
with exhibitors, means that a visit to
Automechanika Birmingham is a must visit
for anybody working in the automotive
industry.
“The feedback we are getting is reflected
in the fact that so far we have seen 30% of
new registrations for 2019, that is, 30% of
whom who haven’t registered or attended
the event before.
“With record investment levels into the
event, we’re sending out a clear message to
the automotive trade that Automechanika
Birmingham 2019 is the prime event to
do business and network. It’s even more
important that we share a vision with
exhibitors and visitors to celebrate all that
is good in the automotive industry and that
Automechanika Birmingham demonstrates
a sector that is not only thriving but
evolving to meet the challenges of
tomorrow.
“With so many new initiatives planned,
this year’s event is going to be the
most engaging yet and will cement
Automechanika Birmingham’s position as
the meeting place for the UK’s automotive
industry.”
The event will also occupy a larger area of
the NEC as more exhibitors take more stand
space. The show has also attracted new
exhibitors from countries such as Czech
Republic and welcomed back exhibitors
from Denmark & Korea, adding to the
show’s growing international appeal.
With over 10,200 automotive industry
personnel attending the highly successful
2018 event, alongside 500 exhibitors from
over 120 companies spanning 26 countries,
2019 promises to see the return of leading
suppliers. More than 100 suppliers so
far have signed up to exhibit, including
Schaeffler, ZF, DENSO, MAHLE Aftermarket,
Delphi Technologies, Valeo, Bosch, Hella,
Bilstein Group, MANN + HUMMEL, NGK and
Yuasa.
