Tyrexpo Asia 2024 Thailand, which took place from 15-17 May, in Bangkok, was heralded a great success for new organisers – Informa Markets – who took over from Tarsus, earlier this year.
Officially opened by local government figures, amid much pomp and ceremony, the event was a first for this Asian country, a location that was selected to serve as a testing bed for future events. Now managed by a dynamic, young group of passionate professionals who were quick to embrace the digital age, buyers and exhibitors were able to interact with one another via a dedicated mobile app. Comprehensive, yet user-friendly, the app provided a host of useful features and daily updates on the day’s proceedings.
A Retreading Conference and Tyre Forum, hosting knowledgeable speakers in the tyre sector from various parts of the world, among them, North and South America, Australia, and South Africa, ran in tandem with the exhibition, providing valuable insights into the world’s various tyre markets.
Exhibitors were all in agreement: The Show was a huge success, and if another is staged in Thailand in the years to come, they will return.
Keep an eye on our June/July issue of SA TREADS, in which we will provide comprehensive coverage on this event.
