7 – 9.6.2016The United Kingdom’s leading regional trade fair for the automotive service industry targeting trade visitors from the UK

Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH is pleased to announce that Forest Exhibitions Ltd will be organising Automechanika Birmingham from the 7-9th June, 2016. Occupying Hall 9 of the NEC Birmingham, and organised in association with the SMMT, this annual trade event recognises the strength of the UK automotive sector, and offers a trusted platform for the UK automotive supply chain and aftermarket suppliers.

Why the UK? Why Birmingham?

The UK’s automotive sector is buoyant and predicted to remain so over at least the next five years. Current figures place the UK as Europe’s 4th largest vehicle manufacturer.

By 2018 analysts predict that the UK will be producing more than two million cars, higher than the previous record of 1.92m in 1972.

There are over 2,000 component manufacturers in the UK.

Birmingham’s central location in the UK, and the UK’s manufacturing belt, makes it perfect for visitors from across the country.

The Venue

The NEC is the largest and most established national exhibition venue in the UK. Hall 9, the location of Automechanika Birmingham, offers 11,000 sqm of space.
