AMR 2022 RESCHEDULED

The show will now run across the 27th to the 30th of May

The organisers of the Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) have decided to push the show back by two months, given the evolving state of the global pandemic. From the 27th to the 30th of May 2022, the event will ring in a new era at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) in China. “We have kept a close eye on how the Omicron variant has affected large-scale business events. Therefore, with the wellbeing of AMR participants at the forefront of our decision-making, and after communicating with exhibitors, partners, the fairground, industry associations and other stakeholders, we believe hosting the show in May is a more viable option,” Messe Frankfurt Traders-Link (Beijing) Co Ltd Managing Director, Fiona Chiew, said.

“I want to thank everyone for favouring this decision and look forward to welcoming back our industry friends in the new time slot.” AMR is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt Traders-Link (Beijing) Co Ltd, the China Automotive Maintenance Equipment Industry Association (CAMEIA) and the China Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (CAMRA). The 2022 edition will mark the show’s first time being held in Tianjin to amplify the region’s vast prospects across the entire automotive aftermarket and assist industry players to take on these rising opportunities.

AAA RADIATORS HEADS NORTH

The company is expanding with a brand-new Queensland facility

Following significant growth over the past five years in its national customer base, AAA Radiators has invested in a brand-new office and warehouse facility in Queensland to support the local network. The impressive new warehouse has been opened at 16 Robertson Street in Brendale and will service all of Queensland. AAA says this branch provides faster delivery of parts to customers in the local area while significantly reducing lead times to Far North Queensland customers who were being serviced from AAA Radiators’ Sydney branch. AAA is also looking to add further new locations over the next 12 months to support its national customer base as business continues to grow nationally and the company continues to expand. With a reputation of over 40 years supplying leading brands, AAA says many of its customers are surprised at the levels of inventory it stocks and in the continual growth of leading genuine, OEM and aftermarket brands which are available now from AAA. The company stocks more than 40,000 cooling products and headlamps and is also now looking at expanding its range into other products in the future to support the requests and demand requirements of its customers.

BRIDGESTONE AU & NZ RECOGNISED BY GLOBAL AWARD

The company was awarded Gold in the ‘Best Community Programme’ category

Two of Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand’s cornerstone corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives have been showcased through a Gold Award in the 13th Annual Global CSR Awards. The Global CSR Awards, run by Pinnacle Group International, is one of the most prominent CSR Awards that recognises innovative and outstanding CSR initiatives. In 2021, more than 350 entries were submitted for the 16 top award categories. Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand claimed Gold in the ‘Best Community Programme’ category for its community sports and outreach initiatives, highlighting the company’s ‘Chase Your Dream’ local community activity as part of the global Olympic and Paralympic Games partnership, and the ongoing support of road safety initiatives: the RYDA road safety education program and Bridgestone Bandag Highway Guardian accolade. “Giving back to society is ingrained in our business and our team, and this award highlights the impact that company initiatives guided by ‘Our Way to Serve’ make to the lives of Australians and New Zealanders. We’re proud to see some of our meaningful community projects recognised on the world stage,” Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand Managing Director, Stephen Roche, said. The award-winning Bridgestone Olympic and Paralympic campaign aims to encourage and inspire emerging athletes through communityled projects alongside the Olympic Games, most recently, in the lead up to Tokyo 2020. “Our Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partnership reinforces Bridgestone’s global citizenship and highlights how our values go beyond our products and services. We wanted to celebrate this partnership in a meaningful way that gives back to the community,” Stephen said. “That’s why we worked with our ambassadors to collaborate on projects that they were passionate about and that provided a genuine benefit for everyone involved.” Two of Bridgestone’s other long-standing partnerships were also celebrated through the award for their contribution towards road safety: the support of Road Safety Education Ltd’s RYDA program across Australia and New Zealand, and the Bridgestone Bandag Highway Guardian accolade.
