Messe Frankfurt, the organisers of June’s Automechanika event, said that figures from the US Commercial Service’s Saudi Arabia: Automotive Tire Industry report show that the import bill for tyres is worth approximately US$800 million.
“The Saudi market, which is one of the largest in terms of both value and volume in the region, is a big draw for international tyre and tube manufacturers and distributors,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Epoc Messe Frankfurt.
Automechanika Middle East 2011 will run from 7-9 June at Dubai’s Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
