"Automechanika Shanghai ranks as an important venue for cultivating contacts with Chinese wholesalers and workshop equippers. Also important, of course, is to establish new contacts on the Asian market. Last year it was evident that this was a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our capabilities as a foremost engine parts supplier on the Chinese aftermarket and this year we intend to re-emphasize this with a much bigger stand," comments Dennis Baumann, President der MS Motorservice Asia Pacific.
The Company's focal point at this year's event: components and assemblies for reducing CO2 emissions. To this end, a broad range of the most modern low-friction pistons and plain bearings of the Kolbenschmidt brand will be on show. As to the Pierburg brand, this chiefly represents air/fuel supply and management and exhaust gas after-treatment. Pierburg is also displaying a variety of variable-delivery and electric oil, coolant and vacuum pumps alongside its exhaust gas valves and innovative secondary air pumps.
This year's Automechanika Shanghai is aiming for a record of around 100,000 visitors. It is considered to be Asia's biggest trade fair for suppliers of auto parts, workshop equipment, and service products. For the growing Chinese market it is an important platform for the aftermarket and workshop equipment.
