Equip Auto Stresses Internationalization: As Western Europe's industry becomes more global, so does one of its largest supplier trade shows

摘要

MORE THAN 2,000 EXHIBITORS FROM 56 countries are jammed into six halls of the Paris-Nord Exhibition Center for six days in the City of Lights, and despite a sagging local market, no one appears interested in throwing in the towel just yet. But as the automotive market of Western Europe goes, so goes Equip Auto, a giant every-other-year auto supplier trade expo held in October: Show organizers stress internationalization and innovation as a means of turbocharging growth. Automotive suppliers display components and services as diverse as the world itself, and show organizers are happy 70% of the 2,100 exhibitors are not French companies.
