More than 250 exhibitors representing all sectors of the global tyre and equipment business will make Tyrexpo Asia 2013 the largest version of the exhibition ever staged in the Singapore Expo Centre.
The unprecedented interest and huge demand means that next March’s show will occupy more floor space than ever before, providing new opportunities for the sellers and buyers expected from almost 100 nations.
Joining dozens of familiar Tyrexpo Asia regulars will be first-time exhibitors such as ATC Tires, Inter-Sprint, Saffiro, Aeolus, Barcino Tyre Company, Dawg Pound Tires, GRL Tires, Toyomoto, Eternity Tyres, Beijing Capital Tire Co, Sailun, South China Tire & Rubber, Chengshan and Maxtrek Tyres.
Expanding Indian tyre maker GRL Tires will be using the show to promote its well-known ranges of two and three wheeler products, as well as sharing its ambitious investment plans for a US$225 million new factory in Gujarat. The company is moving into new markets for agricultural, industrial and earthmoving tyres and the new site will supplement output at the existing plant in Rajasthan, by the end of 2014. GRL plans to add new ranges of tractor, implement and flotation radials during 2013 and early 2014.
Fast-growing Chinese tyre manufacturer Aeolus is already ranked as the 20th largest global tyre maker. During its first appearance at Tyrexpo Asia it plans to exhibit a selection of the 1,000 sizes and patterns of TBR, OTR, LTR and PCR products it markets internationally under the Aeolus, Windpower and Henan brands.
A third new tyre range to debut at the show will be the distinctive Dawg Pound® brand of construction, agricultural and material handling tyres, marketed by the East Bay Tire Company. East Bay is a fourth generation, family-owned Californian business keen to take advantage of the show’s global pulling power to expand its network of international Dawg Pound dealers.
Another US based company, Saffiro Tire, will be looking to the show to build international distribution for its extensive selection of passenger, UHP, light truck, trailer, and TBR products. Saffiro Tires are designed with the independent dealer in mind, offering long-term relationships with key dealers in defined territories. The company also markets its own wheels under the Katana, Dolce, Ninja, and KX brands.
Rowena Suthers, sales director for Tyrexpo Asia organiser, ECI International, said:
“Next year’s show will offer visitors a superb mix of familiar and well established names, together with exciting first-time exhibitors, like Aeolus, GRL Tire, Saffiro, Inter-Sprint and many others.
“There is already a real sense of anticipation leading up to the event, with companies continuing to come forward on a daily basis to exhibit. We have every confidence that Tyrexpo Asia will provide a vibrant and stimulating setting for the industry to meet and do business in Singapore.”
Tyrexpo Asia will be officially opened by Dr Stephen Evans, head of the Singapore
based International Rubber Study Group, the authoritative source of statistical data and analysis for all aspects of the global rubber industry.
