Autopromotec, the specialist trade fair for automotive equipment and aftermarket products takes place next year from May 22nd to 26th at the Bologna Trade Fair Centre in Italy. In the run up to the event the organisers are already working hard on promoting its credentials on an international stage something which has been reflected by special trade missions to South America.

In recent years the organisers of the biannual Autopromotec event, Promotec, have been actively targeting international companies with the objective of not only increasing participation of new exhibitors and visitors from outside Italy, but also of adding value to the event itself. This saw a 9% increase in exhibitors, in difficult economic times, from 2009 to 2011 with international exhibitors up by 11%.

Recent visits to Brazil and Argentina by the Promotec team have been hailed as a great success, with good levels of interest created with automotive companies in these developing markets.
