Automotive Interiors Expo 2010

Automotive Interiors Expo will be launched in Stuttgart in June 2010 to provide the automotive design, development, engineering and manufacturing community with a first-class international showcase exhibition for car and truck interiors.

To be created and fashioned by Tony Robinson, the founder of Aircraft Interiors Expo and Railway Interiors Expo, this new event will give the automotive interiors community a level of visibility for their products and innovations that has been amazingly lacking within the European automotive industry. It will bring together designers, system integrators, electrical specialists and engineers from car manufacturers, styling houses and studios, as well as the full spectrum of car interiors suppliers in a fully integrated exhibition environment that will become the annual meeting place for the European car industry and interiors suppliers companies.

Automotive Interiors Expo will be staged at the brand new Stuttgart Messe which is now one of the best exhibition centres in Europe and perfectly located right in the heart of the German automotive industry. The show will be located alongside 4 other automotive industry shows, including Automotive Testing Expo, held in Stuttgart that already collectively attract around 12,000 visitors each year.

Automotive Interiors Expo will have a dedicated marketing team who will be talking with the interiors designers and specifiers of every European automotive company along with studios styling houses and kindred organisations. In addition invitations and VIP upgrades will be created for selected companies in India, Russia and China to enable additional potential customers to attend the show. The event will benefit from the well renowned UKIP Media & Events tradition of attention to detail and exhibitor support along with delivery of outstanding results for exhibitors.
