A big step forward to increase the footprint in India
Messe Frankfurt India has announced acquisition of Automotive Engineering Show, India’s only trade fair focused on technologies for automotive manufacturing, from Focussed Event Management Pvt. Ltd. With this acquisition, Messe Frankfurt further expands its portfolio of mobility and infrastructure fairs.
Drawing from its successful history in hosting similar sector trade fairs like Automechanika and SPS IPC Drives, Messe Frankfurt has plans for making Automotive Engineering Show a world standard trade exhibition.
Mr. Raj Manek, Managing Director, Messe Frankfurt India, stated: “Automotive Engineering Show is a credible industry platform. We are delighted to add it to our existing portfolio, which would complement our existing trade fair on automotive aftermarket – Automechanika.”
Since its debut, Automotive Engineering Show has maintained its focus on automotive plant processes and technologies. With the last edition attracting 120 participants and more than 5,600 industry visitors from OEMs, and tier-one to tier-three suppliers, the show continues to be a well-recognised platform for the automotive sector.
Mr. Sameer Khedkar, Director of Focussed Event Management Pvt. Ltd., commented: “We are pleased to join hands with Messe Frankfurt and feel that, with their expertise and unmatched global presence, they will allow Automotive Engineering Show to gain a strong foothold in the industry and encourage international participation.
