ISSUE 1
Big names confirm for Brityrex as show builds strongly on growing trade confidence October’s Brityrex International exhibition in Manchester is set to make a big impact as trade confidence builds on the back of the improving UK economy. “We are very confident that this year’s show will benefit substantially from the improved performance and confidence seen in the UK economy in recent months,” says Paul Farrant, of Singex-ECI International. “This year’s show will take place against the backdrop of a very positive trade outlook, which has already translated into a great deal of high quality interest from exhibitors.” That confidence has been endorsed by the decision of major UK tyre wholesalers such as Bond International and its Infinity car tyre brand, and Kings Road Tyres, exclusive distributor of the AEOLUS PCR range, to commit to a major presence at the event. They will be joined by Nankang Tyre UK, which has secured a very prominent stand which is set to feature a number of new products from the manufacturer. Workshop equipment, tools and consumables will also feature heavily at the show with big name brands including Rema Tip Top, Supertracker, Hofmann Megaplan and Autogem showing the latest and best from the sector. Brityrex has a long and successful association with the National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) and that partnership will be maintained at this year’s show. The association is once again the principle sponsor of the three-day exhibition and will stage its highly popular annual dinner and TAFF Awards on Wednesday 8 October, the middle day of the event.
Hofmann Megaplan – Unveiling of New ‘Magic’ Wheel Washer Equipment Specialists Hofmann Megaplan will once again be showing their world-famous range of tyre-related workshop equipment, including wheel balancers, tyre changers, wheel aligners, lifts and associated equipment. Of particular interest, and to be shown at a UK exhibition for the very first time, will be the all-new megawash ‘Magic’ Wheel Washer. The ‘Magic’ uses a combination of environmentally friendly detergent and high pressure water to clean wheels efficiently, quickly and to an extremely high standard. Sensibly priced and simple to install – connecting to a regular mains water and conventional power supply – this revolutionary machine is the perfect addition to the professional tyre shop, either as a complimentary or chargeable service. The ‘Magic’ wheel washer is just one example of a string of new products Hofmann Megaplan will be launching at Brityrex, with further information to be revealed in future newsletters. Further information regarding the Hofmann Megaplan range can be found at www.hofmann-megaplan.co.uk
Kings Road Tyres to launch AEOLUS PCR range at Brityrex International 2014 Leading tyre wholesaler Kings Road Tyres (KRT) has confirmed plans to launch its exclusive UK distributorship of the AEOLUS range of PCR tyres at Brityrex International. Alongside the new PCR launch the company’s presence at the show will provide a high profile opportunity to showcase its extensive ranges of other lines. These will include its exclusive distributorships of the Matador truck, AEOLUS and Antyre truck and OTR, and Taurus agricultural ranges, as well as its recently agreed distributorship of MAXAM industrial, construction and OTR products. KRT is a long-standing supporter of Brityrex, as Tim Bader, the company’s Purchasing and Marketing Manager, explains: “We are strong believers in the importance of the UK industry having its own successful and truly representative show. Every two years Brityrex acts as the focal point for our industry, a dedicated show where people do business, and that’s something we think is really important. “We will be using the exhibition to launch our exciting new and exclusive range of AEOLUS passenger car tyres for the UK market, which is an important strategic development for us. Although we are best known as a major player in the commercial and agricultural markets, we have always supplied PCR tyres, so this new range marks a significant re-launch of our product offer in that sector,” says Tim. www.kingsroadtyres.co.uk

PCL to Demonstrate Why Nexus is the Speediest Solution for Nitrogen Inflation at Brityrex 2014 PCL’s fast and accurate nitrogen generation and tyre inflation solution - NEXUS – will be taking centre stage at this year’s show.
