07 April 2019
Crowds of professionals and others interested in the latest developments in the automotive aftermarketsector, spent Sunday, April 7 at the State Fairgrounds in Nicosia, Cyprus, visiting the 4th «AUTOFIXSHOW 2019». The bi-annual in-house exhibition organized by Cyprus’ leading auto parts company, attracted more than 50 exhibitors from abroad. These included giant companies such as Castrol, Goodyear-Dunlop, Robert Bosch, Hankook, Schaeffler, ZF, Beissbarth, Mahle, TMD Friction, Brembo, Mann Filter and many others.
More than 80 foreign delegates coming from more than 15 European countries, arrived to tend their companies’ stands and get in contact with Cypriot professionals at an exhibition which has become well-established, since first taking place in 2013. What makes «THE AUTOFIX SHOW» stand out is the fact that it is the only purely automotive aftermarket exhibition in Cyprus. It gives the local automotive industry professionals the opportunity to come into direct contact with the reputable suppliers and manufacturers of parts and equipment.
Fotios Katsardis, President and CEO of TEMOT International, came to Cyprus from Germany especially for the exhibition.
Many orders for products and equipment were made during the exhibition, as a significant number of the exhibits were presented in Cyprus for the first time. Attracting particular interest were the market’s fastest lift, put on display by the German company Nussbaum, the equipment by Beissbarth (the exclusive supplier to BMW’s authorized garages around the world) which participated in an exhibition in Cyprus for the very first time, as well as the various live demonstrations, such as the Fiat/Alfa Romeo twin-clutch replacement by Schaeffler, Hella-Gutmann’s live demonstration of ADAS, etc.
In this year’s «AUTOFIX SHOW”, which coincided with Chr. Kapodistrias & Sons Ltd 50th anniversary, two new platforms were presented. These involve a platform for orders and a platform for technical information, both of which will be updated every month. These constitute two extremely useful tools in the hands of motor industry professionals while, at the same time, heralding more changes and the arrival of a new era for Kapodistrias.
Besides the professional car mechanics, the exhibition was also visited by automotive engineers, representatives of companies with vehicle fleets, motorsport enthusiasts, professional drivers, professors and students of automotive engineering, as well as drivers who were interested in the latest trends and developments of the automotive industry.
