June

5 - 8 June Reifen 2012, Essen, Germany

 

Ex-finance ministry to open Reifen 2012

On 5 June 2012 Peer Steinbrück, former German federal minister of finance, will open the popular Reifen 2012 organised by Messe Essen. Once again Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk e.V. (BRV, the German tyre dealers vulcanisers association) will be the show’s “ideal partner.” Both parties will thus emphasise the significance of Reifen. Show organisers Messe Essen have billed the 2012 event as “the number-one worldwide meeting place of the tyre sector.”

Moreover, Goran Zubanovic, managing director of GD Handelssysteme GmbH, lent his support to the event: "The interest beyond the German borders is simply greatest here. A lot of foreign visitors, also precisely tyre dealers from other countries, are interested in the landscape in the German specialised trade and allow us to hold canvassing discussions for countries in which our Premio concept is also represented over large areas in the meantime. However, for donkey's years, REIFEN has been interesting to GDHS also for the detailed representation of its building blocks and systems for interested parties from the German-language area. Here, concepts are examined and compared and initial contacts are established. In recent years, these contacts have often enough led to new, fruitful partnerships after the fair." 


19 - 21 June Hillhead 2012, Buxton, Derbyshire

350 exhibitors signed for Hillhead

Six months before the opening of Hillhead 2012, some 350 exhibitors had already signed up by Christmas to participate in the extractive and construction industries exhibition.

Event director Jack Berridge noted that due to very strong demand during the autumn period when major companies such as JCB, Case, New Holland, Doosan, Hyundai and Komatsu had all confirmed their requirements, 97 per cent of the outdoor stand space has been sold. “In addition, as most of the space in the three demonstration areas has also already been allocated, we are expecting a very busy show, he said.

The show will take place at Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, Derbyshire, England, from 19–21 June 2012
