Equip Auto 2007 Opens Up The Automotive World

Equip Auto 2007, being held in Paris, France from October 15 to 20, 2007 promises to once again host an international audience from the automotive parts and service industry.
A major event in the automotive calendar, Equip Auto focuses on OEM and aftermarket parts and supplies, as well as the equipment sector catering to the repair garage.
For 30 years, making intelligent use of the layout of the Paris-Nord Exhibition Centres 200,000 square metres of exhibition area on a single continuous level, the organizers of Equip Auto have been developing the concept of an interactive show from design to maintenance open onto all markets including OEM, Aftermarket and Repair Garage.

New Fast-Growing Markets
For many leading vehicle equipment manufacturers, who are both OE and aftermarket suppliers, Equip Auto provides the opportunity for a complete strategic approach to all visitor targets. With the globalization of the automotive industry and with those involved in new fast-growing markets not necessarily having adopted our sectoring strategy, our traditional markers, our distribution structures and, even less so, accepted regulations, this is a particularly pertinent concept.

One Visitor Out Of Three Is International
The organization of space, open and interactive, has earned Equip Auto very strong growth in its audience around the world: International exhibitors have risen from 60% in 2001 to 75% in 2005.
At the same time, international visitors, who already accounted for 20%, have increased to 30.1%. In 2007 one visitor out of three will be an international visitor.
None of this detracts from Equip Autos also serving as the ideal platform for access to the French market, of course.

Global Sourcing And B2B Meetings
Equip Auto’s opening onto global sourcing is firmly established, having been an attraction for those in the original equipment sector for 20 years, thanks to an extremely concentrated program of conferences.
Since 1989 each Global Forum has brought together the markets leading decision makers (the 2005 Equip Auto Global Forum was chaired by Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn.)
During the forum, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers analyze changes and trends in the automotive world, what is at stake strategically, and what possible can be done to improve working relationships.

In 2007 Equip Auto will be further strengthening its international reception operations and developing an especially rich events package (global forum, technological talks, B2B meetings). Events intended for all those involved in original equipment: international technical, purchasing, research, and quality management, for all engineers and prime contractors!
Through this program Equip Auto increases business opportunities between buyers and suppliers, whether OEM or aftermarket, parts or equipment.
