Massive business potential for buyers and sellers at largest-ever Tyrexpo Africa 2014 More than 150 exhibitors from all sectors of the tyre and equipment trade have signed up for Tyrexpo Africa in Johannesburg next March. With four months still to go before the doors open at the Sandton Convention Centre, the show is already the largest edition since its launch in 2006. It’s easy to understand the enthusiasm and interest in doing business in South Africa. The country is the undisputed powerhouse of the African automotive market. It has the most vehicles, the largest economy and by far the biggest and most dynamic automotive manufacturing, retail and aftermarket business in the continent. There are over 20,000 businesses involved in selling and providing aftermarket support for the country’s seven million passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In addition to cars and trucks, mining and agriculture are two very significant markets for tyres and services. The mining sector accounts for about 18% of South Africa’s total GDP, while agriculture is a R9.6 billion business in the country and generates around 35% of GDP across the African continent. Collectively, these figures reflect the high demand and business opportunities that exist for car and van, OTR, agricultural, commercial and industrial tyres and services. Which is why a day at Tyrexpo Africa is such a valuable business investment. Pre-register now at www.eci-international.com for hassle-free entry on the day of your visit.

Leaderquip Plans to Wow Visitors Renowned for their top-of-the-range selection of equipment from HUNTER Engineering Company, U.S.A., LEADERQUIP AUTO SERVICES has been a special draw card at Tyrexpo since 2006, when the exhibition was first launched in South Africa. LEADERQUIP has revealed to the organisers that their exhibition at Tyrexpo 2014 will be especially exciting, as they will be introducing a selection of new, top quality products to the South African market. These innovative products will also be of specific interest to their valued visitors from the African countries north of South Africa, where LEADERQUIP and HUNTER have a strong presence and an excellent reputation. According to the directors of LEADERQUIP, Mr Jan Labuschagne and Mr José Domingues, LEADERQUIP has a few aces up their sleeve which will only be revealed at Tyrexpo 2014. They did promise us that these new products will wow the market – not only with their good looks, but also with their sheer quality and effortless performance. No amount of pressure from our intrepid journalist could get them to reveal more. “Wait and see!” was their final word.
