Singapore to host the inaugural GarageXpo Asia in March 2017
The inaugural edition of GarageXpo Asia will stage its appearance on 21 – 23 March 2017 in Singapore. Organised by SingEx Exhibitions Pte Ltd, GarageXpo Asia will feature close to 100 international and local exhibitors. The 3-day tradeshow brings together Asia’s automotive aftermarket communities with their latest automotive repair & maintenance equipment, technologies, and trends. Co-located at the same venue is the 11th edition of Tyrexpo Asia 2017, the most established international tyre tradeshow in South East Asia, which will be taking place in Singapore EXPO Hall 1 & 2.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s ASEAN Automotive, the growth of vehicle population and car sales are projected to rise from 3.6 million to 5.3 million over the next five years. This, in turn, results in increased demand for automotive repair & maintenance services in these countries. The ASEAN countries also offer attractive opportunities for international automotive suppliers to enter the value chains especially in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. These countries are not only the largest markets in the ASEAN region but also the major producers of vehicles. With the region’s strong economic growth and rising consumer class, South East Asia carries the potential to be the next global automotive hub.
GarageXpo Asia covers a diverse range of exhibits from workshop equipment, to bodyworks and collision repair as well as diagnostic equipment. Not just an exhibition, visitors can look forward to event highlights such as the GarageTalk Seminars and the GarageXpo Technical Workshops where knowledge and best practices are shared. A broad range of topics will be covered, ranging from contemporary issues to future technologies and trends. Visitors can also utilise the Business Matching Services to maximise their appointments and meetings at the event.
“GarageXpo is a series of B2B exhibitions designed for the automotive repair and maintenance industry. Similar to the Tyrexpo Series, the GarageXpo Series will be held in India, South Africa and the United Kingdom with its unique event highlights. By combining Tyrexpo Asia and GarageXpo Asia within the same show floor, we strive to harness greater synergy and interactions between the buyers and sellers - thus creating greater value for the automotive marketplace” said Andrew Tan, Deputy Project Director, Automotive & Commodities Cluster, SingEx Exhibitions.
“For this inaugural edition, we are honoured to have exhibitors including 31 Incorporated, A.O.K Industrial Co., Brain Bee S.p.A, Enercell Co., Ltd., HLT International Pte Ltd, K-Tech Auto Solution Pte Ltd, Newera Equipment Pte Ltd, Ningbo Siming Automotive Co., Ltd, Saint-Gobain Abrasives and many more.”
