Tyrexpo Asia & WRS 2019: rubber, auto technologies/insights for APAC

The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the forerunner in the tyre and rubber activities this year, with all eyes on the sustainability agenda. It is against this backdrop that Tyrexpo Asia 2019 and the World Rubber Summit (WRS) 2019 will be held in Singapore.

Touted as Asia’s most well-attended and go-to sourcing platform, Tyrexpo Asia 2019 is revving up the momentum this year. Now in its 12th edition, Tyrexpo Asia will be co-located with GarageXpo Asia and Automotive Aftermarket Asia, and will be held at Singapore Expo from 19-21 March.

According to the organiser, Singex Exhibitions, this move brings together a comprehensive community of automotive players in manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, retreading and fleet operation as well as car workshop owners and aftermarket accessory enthusiasts.

Singex also says that the tyre show is known as the only one that attracts a high 80% attendance from quality buyers and visitors in Asia Pacific. This year welcomes 80 first-time companies such as Tionale Pte Ltd from Singapore, Magna Tyres from the Netherlands, Globe Tyres from Poland, Sailun Tyres from China and Davanti Tyres, which is launching a new range of all-terrain tyres.

Further strengthened by the presence of globally recognised brands such as Aeolus Tyres, LingLong Tires, Nexen, Stamford Tyres and Vee Rubber, this year’s edition expects to receive over 5,000 attendees from about 80 countries.

According to Ian Wu, Director, SingEx Exhibitions, “Tyrexpo Asia was built with an intricate understanding of our customers’ unique needs and wants, specifically in Asia. Recognising the needs of the industry, Tyrexpo Asia has been curated to reflect the key needs and challenges of the community and we are confident that we have provided an ideal platform that meets the needs of the industry and creates a truly enabling environment for buyers and sellers.”

He also adds that trading deals at Tyrexpo Asia are targeted and focused, with potential partnership outcomes resulting from more than 75% of business-matching appointments.

Besides generating commercial activity, Tyrexpo Asia has a broader agenda since the show is a pillar component of the World Rubber Week, which comprises the World Rubber summit.

The World Rubber summit, to be held over two days, is organised by Singapore-headquartered International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), an intergovernmental organisation for the rubber sector, and SingEx Exhibitions, together with Enterprise Singapore.

It will feature seven key topics, 15 presentations and three panel discussions, alongside a line-up of 34 speakers from the industry and policy makers. A highlight will be “Women in the rubber value chain” with a panel discussion dedicated to discuss this and a photo competition organised by IRSG to pay tribute to women’s contribution in the rubber industry.
