TYREXPO ASIA
"Stamford Tyres is a Singapore-brand and Tyrexpo Asia is our home-show, and probably the most important one in the season for us. It gives us an opportunity to reinforce our relationship with existing customers by showing them our headquarters and operations here. At the same time, we've had a few new leads from other parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It's a great place to showcase the new designs and products our Thai factory has come up with to customers old and new," said Mr Pat Berriman, Senior Vice President (Sales & Marketing), Stamford Tyres International. “Tyrexpo Asia is the right event to meet all our Asia Pacific customers in one place. It provides the ideal
platform to showcase our new products developed for this region. This year we were very pleased to unveil our largest OTR all-steel radial tyre, the 27.00 R49, and the response has been very positive,” added Mr Arvind Poddar, Chairman & Managing Director, Balkrishna Industries Ltd (BKT).

There was still a high number of visitors from Europe despite the fact that the show now competes with Chinese shows like Citexpo and Reifen China for this market.
