16/05/2011 - EXPOS A HUGE SUCCESS
The Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo and Collision Repair Expo held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 12 to 14 May exceeded expectations.
The two Expos, organised by separate committees (one representing the aftermarket accessories, equipment and parts sector, and the other representing the collision repair industry) delivered record trade visitor crowds in spite of wet weather conditions.
"With a final count of 12,625 visitors, these Expos set records 20 percent up on the Melbourne Expos in 2007 and 50 percent up on the Sydney Expos in 2009," Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association Executive Director Stuart Charity said.
"Interstate and international visitor numbers increased significantly on previous years and the shows were busy from start to finish. Most importantly, exhibitors told me they were delighted with the number and quality of the visitors.
"We thank the exhibitors for the tremendous efforts - and considerable investments - they made in presenting displays of international standard. They were the stars of the shows," he said.
