When looking at the communicated registration figures the first edition seems to turn into a superlative industry event in 2018. According to responsible trade fair people, all the key players were already on board for 2018. After important key players of the industry had already expressed their support for the event in the framework of the campaign “We are taking part” in May, the list of participants seemed to have grown considerably nearly a year later.

The Tire Cologne - Tyre sector in favour of Cologne

The tyre sector is looking at the premiere of The Tire Cologne full of expectation. Hardly anybody in sector circles seems to be talking about the “REIFEN“, which is supposed to celebrate its premiere parallel to Automechanika in Frankfurt this year. For a long time, the people responsible for both trade fairs have been taking part in a kind of competition to draw attention. Now, however, it has become quite obvious – for sector participants The Tire Cologne will be “the place to be“.
