With great pride, ADPA - Automotive Data Publishers Association and Automechanika Frankfurt have announced a new partnership to jointly strengthen further the #independent #automotive #aftermarket in Europe. Automechanika Frankfurt is one of the most important trade shows worldwide for the automotive aftermarket. As an international meeting place for the #industry, #dealership trade and #maintenance and #repair segment, it provides a major platform for #business and technological #knowledge transfer. It covers the full scale of products and services, from accessories and customising to tires and wheels, including #diagnostics and repair and many others.

ADPA and Automechanika have agreed to promote each other towards their respective networks, in an effort to bringing together all relevant stakeholders of the independent aftermarket. This cooperation will be particularly strong during the Automechanika Frankfurt exhibition, scheduled from the 10th to the 14th of September 2024. Patrick Lo Pinto, ADPA Board Member in charge of Communications, said: "We are very proud to become a partner of Automechanika, one of the leading trade shows for the automotive aftermarket worldwide.

⏰ Are you ready for the introduction of the VISION team? Within the next few weeks you can look forward to exciting insights. Today we start with Florian Niethammer, Head of Trade Fairs & Events at Messe Stuttgart 🎤 🟡 What do you enjoy about your work? Since joining Messe Stuttgart in 2007, I've had the privilege of helping to shape VISION. What I particularly enjoy is organising this leading event on our exhibition grounds with an innovative, highly international, and at the same time very connected industry. 🟡 What hobbies help you to relax after a long day at work? Physical activity is my way of recharging. Over the last few years, I have regularly ridden my e-bike to the trade fair for two hours a day. This year, I set myself a new challenge and started running regularly again. Currently, I'm training for a marathon after a few years' break. This marathon will take place right after this year's VISION on Sunday. 🟡 What are your expectations for VISION 2024? The outlook for VISION 2024 is excellent: We already have 15 percent more exhibiting companies and occupied space, 66 percent of them coming from abroad, and a quarter of the companies are first-time exhibitors. These are the best conditions to welcome many new visitors and users of machine vision technology here in Stuttgart from 8 - 10 October 2024! #VISIONSTR #machinevision #technology #innovation #industry

#Automechanika Frankfurt 2024! Automechanika 2024 was an incredible experience filled with innovation, networking, and learning🌍. For example, a Latin American influencer illustrated how digitalization, through AI-generated content, is making communication more efficient, a concept that can be adapted for other regions in other languages as well. When asked to describe my work at the bilstein group in only one word, I thought of "Ambition" 🚀 because of my current study specialized in digital transformation and the continuous development projects in our organization. Among other important qualities, the ability to guide and adapt to changes in business is especially significant. In my opinion, this is what defines the future of business and also strengthens our partnerships worldwide 🤝 #thinkingabouttomorrow #bilsteingroup #digitization
