September 16 – 21, 2008 in Frankfurt, Germany 
The U.S. Commercial Service in Frankfurt, along with the U.S. Commercial Service's Showcase Global and Automotive Teams, are once again joining forces to provide a wide range of support services to all U.S. exhibitors.
Automechanika, held every two years in Frankfurt, is Europe’s
premier trade fair for the automotive industry. The event
alternates years with the International Automobile Show (IAA).
Automechanika attracted 160,000 trade visitors from 145 countries
in 2006. More than 81% of the trade visitors had the necessary
decision-making competence for purchasing. American exhibitors
consistently report that Automechanika leads to strong global
sales, not only European opportunities. In 2006, more than 4,500
exhibitors from 72 countries, including over 180 from the United
States, exhibited products and services on more than 300,000 m2
of exhibition area. The show included four major USA Pavilions,
with U.S. exhibitors reporting a strong increase in international
sales – especially to Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Automechanika is increasingly becoming a platform for original equipment fitters in the automobile industry, distinguished by innovations and new functions, systems and new technologies. Automechanika’s international significance – almost 80% of exhibitors and 40% of visitors originate from other countries – provides interesting opportunities in this sector, too.
