Automechanika Shanghai will take place 10 – 12 December 2008 and will host a record number of exhibitors – more than 1,900 from 22 countries and regions. These figures firmly establish the fair as the world’s second biggest Automechanika show and one of China’s leading professional forums for the automotive parts, components and aftermarket industry.
More than 30,000 visitors are expected to attend the fair which has eight halls covering 92,000 sqm, an increase of 41,000 sqm from last year.
The automotive industry regards Automechanika Shanghai as an important sourcing opportunity for Chinese exhibitors to show their products to domestic and international buyers. In addition, foreign companies come to the fair to learn the workings of the Chinese market, see what products are available and to look for Chinese partners.
Mr. Jason Cao, General Manager, Messe Frankfurt Shanghai Co Ltd said: “Our show continues to attract the big domestic and international brand names who see the value of not only exhibiting but networking and gaining more insights into the market with our seminar program.”

Chinese company, Launch Technology Co Ltd will be showcasing their latest X-431 Diagun product. Ms Yuan Xiao-Wei, Head of Overseas Sales said this product is unique to the industry. “It uses Bluetooth wireless technology and is the only diagnostic tool which can work on two vehicles at the same time,” she explained.
Diverse range of pavilions showcase international brands
At this year’s Automechanika Shanghai, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and the United States have organised pavilions to showcase their international brands.
Mr. Pascal Galli, Project Manager at UbiFrance, organiser of the French pavilion said he chooses Automechanika Shanghai because it was one of China’s main automotive events. He commented: “The role of China will be more and more important in the next decade in production and innovation. Our exhibitors are expecting to find distributors or partners to reach Chinese market.”
The German pavilion, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in cooperation with the German Association of German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA), is making its third appearance at Automechanika Shanghai and the American pavilion, certified by US Department of Commerce and supported by Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), is making its fair debut.
In addition, there is participation from important overseas trade associations such as the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, the Spanish Automotive Equipment and Components Manufacturers Association (SERNAUTO) and the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
Governor of Georgia, Mr. Sonny Perdue said: “China holds tremendous potential for Georgia businesses and Georgia offers exactly the kind of business-friendly environment Chinese companies seek. The state of Georgia has a long history in the automotive manufacturing, parts and aftermarket sectors. Most of our manufacturers have global marketing strategies. With the opening of China’s market, $1.6 million in parts and accessories, $12.8 million in passenger vehicles, Georgia manufacturers small and large have the opportunity to increase their current sales to China in the automotive sector.”
