      More than 180 delegates from industry associations, long-term partners and media people gathered at the meeting and reviewed the development of the exhibition. Under the background of the rapid transformation and development of the automotive industry in China and the world, the organizer and the guests discussed the industry positioning and development direction of Automechanika Shanghai, saying that that they would continue to work hard and forge ahead.

       

       Zhou Yamin said at the meeting that in the past 15 years China's automobile and aftermarket had burgeoned, as witnessed by many outstanding enterprises determined to forge ahead. Drawing on the stage provided by major exhibitions, many had realized the dream of “going global”. Automechanika Shanghai had always maintained a vigor and vitality, growing at the rate of 300% in exhibition area and the number of exhibitors annually. Its steadily expanding scale has made it even more urgent to continue learning advanced exhibition concepts and improve our services.

 

       In 2004, the first exhibition was held in Shanghai, one of the world’s most promising cities with the fastest growing economy. It attracted 235 exhibitors and 9,138 visitors. In 2006, it gained greater popularity, and the organizer decided to make it an annual event. In 2015, it was moved to the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) to accommodate more visitors and bring about better participation and exhibition experience. It coverage was gradually expanded from the initial three sections of auto parts, auto maintenance, and supplies to incorporate tires, new energy vehicles, and intelligent network links. Its relocation from Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Pudong to the current National Convention and Exhibition Center in Hongqiao has witnessed continuously expanded scale and constantly eliminated rut. It exhibition concept is constantly updated, and service level is continuously improved, securing it the leading role in fierce market competition.

 

       Zhao Lizhi said “Automechanika Shanghai has witnessed the development of China's auto industry, which is also gradually shifting from ‘high-speed growth’ to ‘high-quality development’. Nowadays, endogenous powers including electric vehicles, intelligent networked cars, independent innovations, and Chinese brands are growing strongly. We should maintain our confidence and strength, and improve ourselves to embrace new opportunities.”

       

       Many long-term partners of Automechanika Shanghai also shared their views on its promotional effect to the auto industry during the promotion kick-off meeting.

 

       Cheng Yongshun, Deputy General Manager of SINOMACHINT, and Zhou Shaolan, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., attended the meeting with project team members of the two sides.
