This reflects the plenteous opportunities to meet the key decision makers and influencers at Tyrexpo Asia and GarageXpo Asia for potential business collaborations. My expectation have been met and could be even exceeded because what I am looking for here is business contact to develop the business in SEA and right now I am going to run to another business meeting as soon as we finish this interview. The contact have been fruitful so I take that for the industry, being here is almost mandatory since this is the place where all the truly professionals gathered once every two years in order to maintain, to map and revamp their already existing business contact and to find new ones. Renato Zilli, Pirelli Very interesting exhibition with lots of new contacts. Layout was easy to navigate and accessible. This time there has been some new innovation at the show and that is very pleasing to see. The GarageXpo sections showcasing the people from the garage section. The Tyrexpo seminar has always been interesting and this just adds on something different to the show with the Commercial Vehicle displays, the business matching. So, there is lots of different things for different people. David Wilson, Publisher, Retreading Business Cyrill Business Development Manager Kuehne + Nagel 5
