14th September 2006
After the first day of the Automechanika show in Frankfurt, yesterday, staff on the SMMT stand pronounced confidence in the success for the 75 UK firms in its group.
“We've over 75 firms with us, selling parts, aftermarket equipment, power and exhaust systems products,” said Russell Murty from the SMMT’s International Department. “And by the end of the first day people were very pleased and very impressed by the quality of business visitors and inquiries. If, as we all expect, visitors, interest and inquiries continue at this level, we're confident of success.”
Since the early Seventies the SMMT has arranged for groups of UK firms to exhibit at the Automechanika show. Its support is not limited to member companies, and only 26 of the 75 firms exhibiting under the SMMT’s umbrella at Automechanika are members of the Society.
The SMMT stand is No. C72 on the first floor of hall 5, Other SMMT group stands are in halls 1.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 8.0, 9.1 and 9.2, with 43 in hall 5.1 alone. Automechanika runs from 12 to 17 September in the Frankfurter Messe. The organisers say there are some 4,500 exhibitors spread through all 10 of the exhibition centre’s halls.
