Commenting on the preparations, Philippe Baudin, chairman of EQUIP AUTO, said: “We are delighted with the way this 26th edition of EQUIP AUTO Paris has been received. The feedback from exhibitors on the programme is very encouraging and confirms the choices we have made with a view to bringing together a wide range of players, representative of what our automotive and mobility industry is today and will be tomorrow.
”While a GiPA survey confirms that recruitment is the main concern of repairers for the next two years, and another one by the FIEV, conducted for EQUIP AUTO Paris, underlines the resilience of the aftermarket with 14 billion euros sales expected between now and 2030, EQUIP AUTO Paris had to devise a rich, comprehensive programme of content that would be conducive to the business of its professional audiees.
”Today, there is no doubt that this programme has hit the mark, given the presence of historic players and new market entrants, thus confirming EQUIP AUTO Paris’ status as a 100 per cent business exhibition and contributing to making it a structural pillar of Paris Automotive Week.”
