MAKE A DATE WITH TYREXPO AFRICA TO CASH IN ON BUSINESS BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES A fast-growing line up of leading African and international exhibitors will deliver major new business opportunities to industry visitors at Tyrexpo Africa 2014. Although the biennial show is still eight months away, supplier demand continues to be intense, with 80% of exhibition space already taken. Organisers ECI International are confident of a sell-out event come show time next March. A full exhibition hall at the Sandton Convention Centre will be the focal point for buyers and distributors to cash in on business estimated to be worth millions of dollars over the course of the three-day exhibition. African based exporters will be able to take advantage of the truly international nature of the show, which is expected to attract visitors from more than 42 countries, representing all major tyre and equipment buying markets and economies. The show will be of equal importance to importers seeking new suppliers and distribution agreements with overseas manufacturers keen to establish a presence in southern Africa’s attractive consumer, commercial and OTR markets. “There is no other single trade event that can offer the southern African tyre and equipment industry the chance to meet so many buyers and deal-makers in a single venue,” confirms ECI International managing director, Paul Farrant. Conscious of the healthy demand for show access, ECI will open its online pre-registration system in September. The simple click-through process guarantees nowaiting entry, without having to complete any paperwork on the day.
