Messe Frankfurt Expands its Offer for the Automotive and Transport & Logistics Sectors

Frankfurt, 25 November, 2015/PRNewswire/- Messe Frankfurt looks back on a 45-year-long tradition of success in the automotive industry and takes this opportunity to thank its long-term and loyal exhibitors. It has come up with something special for this occasion: the artist and photographer Rafael Neff has converted several customer products into theme worlds that are featured in the 2016 Automechanika calendar: Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG, BBS GmbH, Brembo S.p.A., Continental Aftermarket GmbH,Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH,Hella KGaA Hueck & Co, Johnson Controls Autobatterie GmbH & Co. KGaA, Liqui Moly GmbH, Mahle GmbH, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH, RECARO Automotive Ltd. & Co. KG, Schaeffler AG, ZF Friedrichshafen AG. The high-quality calendar was presented at the ‘We say THANKS’ ceremony in the Klassikstadt Frankfurt, to which Messe Frankfurt issued an invitation.

Automechanika is certainly the most exciting success story in 45 years. The story began in 1971 with the first Automechanika in Frankfurt, which was christened when the IAA was cancelled. In subsequent years, the trade fair has made outstanding progress, advancing to the world’s leading trade fair, which is now held in fifteen locations worldwide. In the meantime, Messe Frankfurt is also organising a series of new B2B trade fairs for trucking and logistics and B2C events for automobiles, bikes, and boats.

Mobility and logistics are closely related. The transport & logistics sector is currently occupied with questions concerning intelligent networked infrastructure. New conferences and trade fairs sponsored by Messe Frankfurt are providing relevant answers and new insights. Next year, Scalex East Africa, a new trade fair devoted to supply chain management and logistics in East Africa, will celebrate its premiere. The mobility & logistics division will be further expanded in the coming years. By 2017, a total of 31 events are planned for the automotive and transport & logistics sectors.
