AMR Expo expands

13 March, 2019

The latest outing of Automotive Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) will take place from 21 to 24 March 2019 in Beijing’s New China International Exhibition Centre. As one of Asia’s leading repair and maintenance trade shows, the fair has expanded many of its special zones for 2019, and for the first time will host a new German Pavilion.

The show’s latest addition will allow buyers to explore a more comprehensive exhibiting platform and will enable them to connect with some of the most influential names in the overseas market. This year’s fair will feature more than 1300 exhibitors across 120,000 sqm of space, covering the most recent advances in garage and collision equipment, testing, diagnostics equipment and tools, repair, car care, parts and more.

In recent years, the automotive industry across China and throughout Asia has seen continued growth driven by the increase in automotive ownership. This trend is expected to continue rising in the coming years, which has encouraged many key players across the value chain to tap into the country’s auto market. With this, the repair and maintenance sector, in particular, is seeing more and more demand for new and innovative product ranges and services.

This demand can be seen first-hand at the next edition of AMR, where it is forecasted that over 8000 brands from across the world will exhibit. A number of regional and overseas participants have already confirmed their place at the show, including 3M, Akemi, Anche, Aotobacs, Atlas, Tapes, AUI, Autel, Axalta, Baozhongbao, Beiersdorf, Bost, Bright, Carbon Zapp, Celette, Christ, Corghi, Cosber, Dali, DEVILBISS, EBI, Faret, Festool, Fly-eagle, FRL, Gaither Tool, Gaochang, Giuliano, Goodlife, GSP, Guangli, Gulf,GYS, HF, Himore, Horn, Hunter, JB, JBT, JTC, Launch, Lukoil, Mirka, Monarch, Nanhua, Ominent, Oufeng, RAV, Ruiming, Saint Gobain, SAND, SATA, Sata tool, Sensen, Sicad, Sino-Italian, Snap-on, SORL, SP, Stertil, Tech, TELWIN, Tiptop, Uniler, Whale, Yokistar and ZLDC, from countries such as Greece, Italy, Korea, Malaysia and the US.

In a new development for the 2019 edition, the German Pavilion will be making its debut at the fair. The area has already been highly anticipated by many buyers from the Chinese market, as it provides a one-off opportunity to meet some of the most influential European companies in the sector, including:

• Advanced Adhesive Coatings – a dynamic supplier for solutions in direct-to-plastic coating.

• B-TEC – an automotive supplier with a wide range of products for paint and finishing.

• Eurolub – offers a variety of products including engine oil, gear oil, winter chemicals, rapid biodegradable lubricants, industrial lubricants and workshop material.

• Haweka – a provider of centring and clamping systems for vehicle wheels and more.
