JOHANNESBURG – German exhibitors will again be flying the flag at the third Automechanika Johannesburg from May 8-11. With 616 exhibitors (145 South African, 471 international), this is an 11 percent increase in exhibitors compared to the previous event, according to show organizers.
Fifteen German companies will present a cross-section of products and services from areas that include automotive parts, motor vehicle accessories and the entire aftermarket. German exhibitors will include MWS Autochemie (motor vehicle fluids), AUGER Autotechnik (commercial vehicle parts), Hans Oetiker, Flösser, ClimAir Plava Kunststoffe GmbH (wind deflectors), REINZ-Dichtungs GmbH (seals and gaskets), Spicer Gelenkwellenbau (drive shafts), EUROLUB, TRUCKTEC Automotive, together with their local partners – ALLEURO, BIZOL, CTP, Philips, Otto Nussbaum, Stafford Technologies and BBT Automotive Components.
On average, motor vehicles in South Africa are 10.5 years old and spend most of their time in traffic jams. The country is looking to increase automobile production to 1.2 million vehicles by 2020. This creates excellent conditions, therefore, for a trade fair that specializes in appropriate products and services to meet the huge demand in workshops and servicing areas, organizers say. Automechanika Johannesburg has added the "Safari and Off-Road-Vehicles" product section this year as well.
