EXHIBITION 展览会
Repair & Maintenance Sector Takes Front Seat at Automechanika Kuala Lumpur
The 10th edition of Automechanika Kuala Lumpur has evolved from modest beginnings. Keeping pace with the growing needs in the ASEAN region, the upcoming show would move towards a brand new edition that highlights the supply chain within the repair and maintenance sector and showcases the latest trend in smart technology.
The repair and maintenance sector would take front seat, compris- ing a range of items, including collision repair, coating, car wash, tools and equipment. The comprehensive coverage is expected to attract participation from body shops, express auto service centres, workshops, mechanics and technicians in ASEAN countries. To en- rich participants’ experience, the show would also provide a series of collision repair training workshops with theories and practical ap- plications such as spray booth and welding. Participants would learn the most updated information and trend in repair and maintenance, and network and acquire business opportunities.
Connected mobility is one of the latest buzzwords in the automotive industry. Vehicles with smart technology could communicate with each other and the surrounding transportation infrastructure to en- hance safety, convenience and efficient traffic flow.
With growing disposable incomes, Malaysians are seen as eager to try out the latest technology. As a result, more market opportuni- ties would continue to evolve in this field. A 2015 Malaysian import figure from MATRADE shows that electrical and electronic products contribute to the largest sector (30 per cent) of total imports in Ma- laysia. GPS and audio systems were among these electronic items imported. The coming edition of Automechanika Kuala Lumpur would capitalise on this potential. According to Fiona Chiew, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd: “ASEAN has an enormous need for repair, maintenance, connected mobility and smart technology. There isn’t a dominant show in ASEAN to meet those needs. Automechanika Kuala Lumpur is an excellent resource to fill the market gaps.”
Automechanika Kuala Lumpur would cooperate with one of the sup- porters, AAA (Auto Audio, Accessories and Air-Condition Trader As- sociation of Malaysia), to bring an international standard audio com- petition to the show. AAA has 900 members throughout Malaysia covering electronic manufacturers, tuning shops, retailers and ser- vice suppliers; Sony and Alpine are among the active members. The EMMA (European Mobile Media Association) Car Audio Competition would promote smart technology within the automotive audio realm.
This competition is said to attract many participants from ASEAN countries including Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
Automechanika Kuala Lumpur would be held 23rd–25th March, 2017 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The show is expect- ed to welcome 300 worldwide exhibitors and 8,000 global buyers to the 9,710sq m exhibition space spanning five halls. It is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, co-organised by MAI and supported by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE).
