Automechanika Birmingham 2019 hailed 'record-breaking success'

It's not just individual exhibitors who had a good show at Automechanika Birmingham this year, with the official organiser statistics, released today, revealing record-breaking numbers.

More than 12,000 visitors from the UK automotive industry visiting the show in early June, the highest attendance yet for the show.

500 exhibitors from 23 countries attended, with 120 new suppliers showcasing their products. 90% of visitors were from the UK. Aftermarket visitors comprised 88% of the overall audience and 84% of visitors had purchasing authority, according to the organiser.

“The feedback we received after the event also proved that Automechanika Birmingham is the market-leading event for the UK automotive industry, with 91% of visitors saying they were very satisfied with the show, and 83% of visitors stating that they would recommend the event to a colleague in the industry," said Jack Halliday, Automechanika Birmingham Event Director.

“With these stats in mind, and the fact that the industry’s largest names have already re-booked to attend in two years’ time, it means that 2021 is boding extremely well just after 2019 draws to a close.”

Automechanika Birmingham will return to the NEC 8-to 10 June 2021.
