PARTICIPANTS PRAISE AMR 2023

Attendees are happy the show has supported China’s automotive aftermarket

The Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR), North China’s premier platform for the automotive aftermarket in the Jing-jin-ji (Beijing-TianjinHebei) region, closed its doors to the 2023 edition on the 26th of March.

The four-day show gathered leading industry players across the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) from the domestic and overseas supply chain.

Participants were reportedly impressed by the strong line-up of exhibitors showcasing the latest developments in the repair and maintenance sector. In addition, organisers say participants stated they appreciated the show’s pledge to support the advancement of the regional automotive industry.

Visitors from 23 countries and regions attended the show, with 38,674 visits recorded. Exhibitors came from 11 countries and regions, with 659 exhibitors taking part in the show which spread across 80,000 sqm of exhibitor space and featured 28 concurrent events and 1,500 new product launches.

“We are happy to reunite with aftermarket players in Tianjin, especially as it is the ninth anniversary of establishing the development plan for the Jingjin-ji region,” Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd General Manager, Fiona Chiew, said.

“This also means we are stepping further into the heart of the automotive manufacturing cluster here. Walking around the exhibition grounds, feeling the enthusiasm, and hearing positive feedback from both local and international participants was pleasing. It affirms the show’s strong foothold in the industry, connecting the world to the Chinese market.”

AMR’s strong roots in the region were clear to detect as the well-established platform offered a one-stop sourcing hub for the automotive repair and maintenance sector.

This year’s event had four themed areas, including the Parts and Components Zone, Green Repair and New Energy Zone, Commercial Vehicles Zone and Made-in-Tianjin Zone.

The wide range of exhibits promoted the growth of the new energy vehicle aftermarket, commercial vehicle after-sales services, auto repair and maintenance equipment, and more.

In addition, the fair attracted buyers from 23 countries and regions. Many of the buyers praised both the quality and range of exhibits. In fact, visitors could find innovative products and solutions from over 5,000 international brands. “I would like to extend my gratitude to the partners, exhibitors, visitors and supporting industry associations for their contributions to the fair, not only this edition but for the last four decades. I already look forward to seeing everyone again next year and hope to welcome even more participation from the industry,” Fiona said.

The Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd (Sinomachint), China Automotive Maintenance Equipment Industry Association (CAMEIA) and China Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (CAMRA). The fair is one of the 35 global events under Messe Frankfurt’s Mobility and Logistics sector.

The 2024 edition of the show is set to be held from 20th to 23rd March at the National Convention and Exhibition Centre (Tianjin).
