The 6th edition of Tyrexpo Africa 2016 opened today (8th March), announcing the introduction of three new focused business segments and two new knowledge exchange platforms. The three new business segments - Automotive Repair & Maintenance, Services & Smart Solutions and Tyre Sustainability, together with Tyres offer buyers a more holistic platform for sourcing, aligned to the changing needs of the growing automotive industry in South Africa. The introduction of the TechTalk Seminar (TTS) and Tyrexpo Technical Workshop (TTW) provides the opportunity for buyers and sellers from the garage and workshop and fleet management companies to share new industry trends, training skills and business best practices in South Africa. 

Ms Eileen Hair, Project Director at SingEx Exhibitions, the organiser of the Tyrexpo series said, “We constantly evaluate the changing landscape and review the needs and demands of the market. We are hopeful that the introduction of these new knowledge platforms will help raise the awareness and appreciation for quality training and to help develop a more skilled workforce to match the growth of this industry.”
