Summary of the 2013 AAPEX Exhibition in Las Vegas, USA

The 2013 AAPEX Show (Las Vegas International Auto Parts Exhibition) successfully concluded in Las Vegas, USA on November 7th! This exhibition was organized by the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce, with Shandong Zhenghe International Exhibition Co., Ltd. specifically undertaking all matters.

AAPEX SHOW is the world's largest professional exhibition for the automotive aftermarket, and also the most effective trade exhibition for the automotive parts industry in North America. It brings together automotive parts users and aftermarket service providers from across Central and North America, as well as South America, Europe, and the Middle East. It is one of the world's largest trade expositions for automotive manufacturing, highlighting the automotive aftermarket parts and automotive care products impatiently waiting to be presented.

This AAPEX exhibition attracted over 2400 exhibitors from more than 130 countries and regions worldwide, with over 5000 booths and an exhibition area exceeding 41000 square meters. The products mainly involve various automotive components such as braking systems, air conditioning, audio systems, engines, chassis, cooling systems, and transmission systems in all aspects of the automobile.

To guide enterprises to further seize opportunities and explore diversified international markets, the Provincial Department of Commerce and Zhenghe Exhibition Company organized 32 enterprises from our province's auto parts industry to participate in AAPEX SHOW, with a total exhibition area of 378 square meters. The number of participating enterprises and booths increased compared to the previous session. During the 3-day exhibition, the Shandong Provincial delegation cumulatively received over 4800 customer visits, with an average of about 50 effective customer visits per enterprise per day, which was a great success overall for the event attendees involved throughout this period in time!

From the perspective of our provincial enterprises' exhibits, most of the auto parts were brake discs and brake pads. Our company dispersed some enterprise booth locations to avoid competition among exhibitors from the same industry. We suggest that enterprises choose exhibitions based on international market conditions and product demand in various regions, and also consider developing new products to open up new markets. At the same time, it is further recommended that relevant provincial and municipal authorities increase macro-control efforts to encourage enterprise innovation and upgrading efforts in the future. Enterprises participating in exhibitions have already noticed the importance of corporate image promotion, and special booth designs will be a trend for enterprises in future exhibitions. The participating enterprises in this exhibition clearly stated that they will continue to participate in the next exhibition, and it is estimated that there will be a significant increase in enterprises with special booth designs, which is excellent news overall regarding these aspects, and a key factor of successful participation in the auto parts industry is based upon many different variables that are involved and affect profitability for both parties at hand moving forward into the future.

Shandong Zhenghe International Exhibition has continuously organized auto parts enterprises from our province to participate in the Las Vegas Auto Parts Show in the United States for eight consecutive years, from 2006 to 2013, putting in a lot of hard work in organizing the exhibition during this period. At the same time, the exhibition results for enterprises have been consistently good over the years, and the majority of exhibitors are quite satisfied with the exhibition's effectiveness and our company's organization work, which is excellent feedback overall and a key factor of the long-term success that has been experienced so far along the way at hand moving forward into the future as well too!

Regarding overseas reception, our company provides high-quality services to exhibitors. All arrangements for overseas accommodation, dining, and travel are handled according to the standards of high-end business groups, ensuring the smooth work and life of the participants, and receiving unanimous recognition and praise from exhibitors. Our company will thoroughly summarize this Las Vegas Auto Parts Show, draw experience, and ensure that all work for the next exhibition is done better and more thoroughly in order to ensure the best possible results and outcomes for the participants throughout the entire duration of the event as a whole at hand going forward in the future.
