The 2nd Automechanika Moscow-2008

The 2nd Automechanika Moscow, International Trade Fair for Automotive Parts, Equipment and Service Suppliers, will take place on 4-6 March 2008 and will move - by request of the organisers, Messe Frankfurt and ITE Group, as well as exhibitiors - to the Krasnaya Presnya exhibition centre that is situated in the centre of Moscow.

The first edition of Automechanika Moscow in May 2007 was very successful, with around 200 exhibitors from 20 countries who presented their products in a total area of 9,000 square meters to more than 5,000 trade visitors.

Krasnaya Presnya Expocentr hosts about 100 trade shows with circa 30,000 exhibitors per year. The exhibition ground has a gross exhibition space of around 200,000 square meters in nine modern halls and offers congress, symposia and press conference facilities.

Messe Frankfurt joined forces with the ITE Group to stage Automechanika Moscow. The ITE Group has an established portfolio of successful trade fairs in Russia and Automechanika Moscow extends Messe Frankfurt's portfolio for the automotive industry, taking their number of Automechanika fairs to twelve events.

The Russian market is booming and last year's automobile sales were already 30 percent up on 2001. Today, fewer than one in five Russians drives a car, but experts believe this ratio will increase to more than one in four by 2010. The producers forecast major potential for the Russian and Eastern European market. Many car makers and suppliers are ready and waiting to gain a foothold in Russia's regional markets.
