Automechanika 2018

22 october 2018

Frankfurt, Germany

From 11 to 15 September Salvadori exhibited at Automechanika in Frankfurt, along with more than 5,000 other exhibitors. It was the fourth time that our company was present at this important automotive event in Germany, but this year there was something completely new! Reifen, the trade show that we know very well from Essen and that Salvadori participated in throughout its whole history, had become part of Automechanika Frankfurt.

The brand new Hall 12 hosted Reifen, and this is where Salvadori was based. The hall had been completed just before the show and was there to impress with its architecture, functionality and facilities. Being the most recent addition to the fair grounds, it might have been a bit less familiar to Automechanika visitors, but nevertheless many of them successfully found their way to Salvadori booth.

Salvadori presented its own manufactured tools for tyre repair and service. Our visitors could take a close look at carbide cutters, grinding stones and buffing wheels of our production, along with our wax markers, stitchers and brushes. Among the highlights of the booth were Salvadori hydraulic bead breakers. A lot of interest was also provoked by cribbing blocks, wheel chocks and rubber pads for lifts.

With about 136,000 visitors from 181 countries attending the fair, Automechanika 2018 was a tremendous opportunity to make new contacts, and of course we, as always, were happy to welcome at the booth our established customers as well. Visitors from all over the world – Australia, Tanzania, Russia, Norway, Belarus, Republic of Ireland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Greece, Serbia, Lithuania, Brazil – came to discuss further opportunities of cooperation. We would like to thank each and every one of our visitors for their time and interest in Salvadori products!

Salvadori has always appreciated benefits provided by the participation in trade fairs, and we have now increased the number of shows we exhibit at to an average of 10 per year! These include trade shows in automotive and especially tyre business and in the mining industry. Automechanika, being the world’s leading trade fair for the automobile aftermarket, will undoubtedly remain an attractive event for Salvadori. For the 2020 edition, however, we may consider moving to one of the halls focused on “Repair & Maintenance” where we would be able to put the spotlight on Salvadori workshop tools and equipment, such as tyre carriers, lifts, solid tyre presses and of course our bead breakers.

We look forward to meeting you at one of the future trade shows and invite you to have a look at our past and upcoming events in the “Fairs” section of our website: https://www.salvadori.com/retreading/en/fairs/
