While tyres will be a focal point the show will also host leading garage equipment, machinery and technology producers, covering everything from retail fast-fit through to specialist services for the mining industry.

A financial levy of Rand 2.3 per kilogram of manufactured or imported tyre products, will apply to all tyres, including those fitted to imported equipment, from the beginning of February this year. ECI’s Paul Farrant concludes by saying: “When business is tough and margins are tight customers are looking for an edge that can give them a market advantage. We’re very confident that suppliers at Tyrexpo Africa will be in a position to offer that kind of incentive, through a combination of unique products, exceptional service and keen pricing. This will be a show where a lot of business will be done and many profitable new relationships are formed.”
