Raymond Chan, Senior Manager, YHI Corporation (Singapore) Pte Ltd said: “YHI is glad to have participated in the 2007 Tyrexpo Asia show. The exhibition gave us further opportunity to introduce our existing and new product lines to the international pool of trade visitors. It was also a time to gather and meet old but good friends to rekindle the business relationship and at the same time, make new friends and contacts throughout the duration of this fruitful event". The seventh Tyrexpo Asia has already been confirmed for the Singapore Expo Centre from 24-26 March 2009. The show dates have been brought forward by six months to avoid the increasingly congested exhibition calendar in the region during September. Expanding upon the decision, Rowena Suthers said: "We want to give everyone who supports the show the very best opportunity to maximise their investment. In the past, September has been a good month to stage Tyrexpo Asia but with an increasing number of tyre and automotive exhibitions springing up in the region, we think the time is right to bring the show forward. This will give exhibitors and visitors more time and opportunities to plan their marketing activity over the course of the year". “This move has been made after careful consideration and with the full backing of many of our most loyal and committed exhibitors, who recognise the value of re-establishing an exclusive slot for the show in the Asian exhibition calendar,” she added.
