History of Automechanika

The past exhibitions of the Automechanika have seen about 6000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries which have brought about 150000 guests to this fair. Among the industry sectors, four major areas of Parts & Components, Electronics & Connectivity, Diagnostics & Maintenance, Car Wash & Car, Tires & Wheels are seen. This exhibition used to last for about 9 days, but the duration has been reduced to 4 days as of now. One may think this was due to lower amounts of attendance in this exhibition, but it is the other way around!

The variety of products makes the Automechanika the perfect opportunity to promote marketing, trade, and exchange each year and develop it further in each session. Further expansions are expected to be seen during future sessions of the fair. The Automechanika has been held in December and its Shanghai so far, but the exact date may change each year.
