For more than 50 years the event has been bringing together professionals in the automotive aftermarket for a moment of technological and professional growth that has become an essential meeting on an international scale. Autopromotec’s 2017 edition is the largest and most international in its long history, featuring a number of interesting related initiatives designed for the many visitors arriving from all over the world.
The organisers of the event confirm the participation of 1,651 exhibitors: the share of foreign companies is about 42%, for a total of 53 countries represented (6 more countries than 2015).After Italy, with 962 companies that have chosen Autopromotec as a showcase for their products and services, the nations with the largest number of exhibitors are China, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Poland, USA, France and the Netherlands. The significant increase in the number of exhibiting companies has led to the expansion of certain sectors and the consequent extension of the total area occupied by the event.
The map of the 2017 edition of Autopromotec is divided into 14 halls and 5 outdoor areas, for a total space of 158,000 square metres. As usual, exhibitors are grouped by product area – with over 550 categories covering all submarkets in the aftermarket – to allow visitors to plan their itinerary based on their professional interests. The world of new or reconstructed tyres, rims, and related assistance equipment is grouped in Halls 15, 19, 20, 22, 31 and in the area 42.The best tools for after-sales service – from diagnostic and lifting equipment, to car wash solutions and car care, from bodywork products to tools and compressors – are presented in halls 14, 25, 26, 29, 36 and part of 30, where visitors will find the world’s best when it comes to workshop service, body shops, auto electricians, tyre shops, car dealers, service stations, repair and service centres.
Everything related to spare parts, consumables, as well as services for a constantly evolving industry, such as software and IT systems, automotive networks, distribution chains and logistic services, is on display in the halls 16, 18, 21 and part of 30.In fact, precisely in Hall 30 (Booth D14), Autopromotec presents the initiative “Officina 4.0:Proof of Concept”, the virtual preview of tomorrow’s workshop, through which it is possible to analyse what the future holds for the world of repairs, the technologies and how it will change the role of professionals.
Also for this edition, with AutopromotecEDU, the great arena of exchange and debate on the most current issues related to the automotive after-sales, Autopromotec not only provides a showcase of products and services, but also a time of training and information for the entire sector thanks to insights into the most important aspects of the aftermarket. AutopromotecEDU’s calendar is packed with interesting conferences that involve authoritative figures of the aftermarket, with the aim of giving all participants ideas to optimise, innovate and grow their business.
