20th Automechanika from 16 to 21 September 2008

Messe Frankfurt expects over 4,600 exhibitors and around 160,000 trade visitors to attend the 20th Automechanika in 2008. Since making its debut in 1971, the Automechanika has developed into one of the most important meeting places for decision makers from the automobile sector.  

The main theme of this year's fair: global warming and its impact on the automotive aftermarket. What is the significance of the latest innovations in the fields of emissions protection and CO2 reduction for the parts market? What recommendations does the sector have for workshops, filling stations and their service offers?  

At the fair, visitors will find, for example, a 'Green Directory' that draws attention to products distinguished by energy and material efficiency or advances in emissions protection. At the Automechanika Academy, too, experts will discuss the reaction of the trade to demands for CO2 reductions. 

Held every two years, the Automechanika offers trade visitors a unique range of products in the automobile parts, car washes, workshop and filling-station equipment, accessories and tuning sectors. The fair is unparalleled in terms of size and internationality with around 40 percent of trade visitors and 80 percent of exhibitors at the last event coming from outside Germany.  

Covering nearly 300,000 square meters of exhibition space (gross), the Automechanika occupies almost the whole of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre including, for the first time this year, the new Southwest Outdoor Area.  

 95 % of exhibitors at Automechanika 2006 were satisfied with the overall result of the trade fair - business was running at full power.
