RECORD ALREADY BROKEN AT TIRE TECHNOLOGY EXPO 2018

With exhibits from over 290 of the world’s most important suppliers to tyre manufacturing plus a major conference, workshop programme and industry-leading awards dinner, Tire Technology Expo 2018 is all set to storm Europe. The Feb 20-22 event at Deutsche Messe in Hannover, Germany, has already broken its own record in number of exhibitors.

Tire Technology Expo 2018 offers visitors the world’s premier technology showcase, with exhibits of equipment and materials covering the complete spectrum of the tire manufacturing process.

After a record-breaking second year in Hannover in 2017 (the 17th year of this industry-leading show in Europe), Tire Technology Expo will return to the Deutsche Messe with the floor space now increased to 20,000m2. The show organiser, UKi Media & Events, expects this year’s event to be even bigger than in 2017, with every expectation of increasing overall attendance beyond the near 6,000 record of last year.

Tire Technology Expo is Europe’s most important international gathering of tyre manufacturing experts, making it a fantastic opportunity to view and debate all the latest innovations in materials, chemicals and machinery. The list of hot topics to be discussed in Hannover next February includes automation, big data and Industry 4.0, intralogistics, production efficiency, tyre labelling and RFID tagging.

Joining the numerous returning companies – including industry heavyweights such as HF, Mesnac, Siemens and VMI – will be many first-time exhibitors, including German suppliers Getriebebau Nord (drive systems), Ilmberger Maschinen- und Zahnradfabrik (gearing technology), Industriefabrik Schneider (steam packages for curing presses) and Festo (automation).

Innovative technologies

Innovative testing technologies will be the focus for two other newcomers, MonTech (rubber testing solutions) and Camber Ridge, which has opened a groundbreaking indoor facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The chemicals and materials area of the expo will be strong once again, underlining the innovative research being done to meet performance and sustainability challenges with newly developed materials and sophisticated compounds. Some of the new exhibitors in the chemicals and materials field at the 2018 show will include Shin-Etsu Silicones Europe BV and Madura Industrial Textiles. Hailing from the Netherlands and India respectively, these companies underline the global nature of Tire Technology Expo’s exhibitor and visitor base.

Conference

With its parallel programme of conference sessions close to the exhibition hall, numerous short courses and the prestigious Awards Gala Dinner, Tire Technology Expo 2018 offers visitors, exhibitors and conference delegates a networking opportunity that is unrivalled within the tyre manufacturing sector.

“It is really fantastic to see Tire Technology Expo going from strength to strength year after year. Amazingly, it is now three times bigger than it was in 2012 and all set to break another record in 2018. It really has become the leading global event that embraces and celebrates the fantastic world of tyre manufacturing and all its complexities,” commented show founder, Tony Robinson.
