Highlights From Rematec Asia’s First Edition In Guangzhou, China
From Oct. 11-13, RAI Amsterdam held its 1-st
Asia edition of Rematec, demonstrating latest achievements of the Chinese remanufacturing
industry. Co-located with Automotive Aftermarket Guangzhou (AAG), Rematec Asia
(RA) presented a great chance for international automotive businesses to get acquainted
with the remanufacturing industry in China and consider possibilities of
consolidating their positions on the fast-growing Chinese market. The
international participants of the show also benefited from AAG visitors,
allowing representatives of the Chinese auto repair industry and authorized
dealer centers to become familiar with the long-term benefits of
remanufacturing.
In collaboration with Chinese partners, RA organized presentational events, where Chinese and international business professionals had a chance to share their visions on the industry trends. The Rematec Theatre was the center of attraction of the RA program and it was open to all visitors of both co-located exhibitions. It included discussions on a wide range of relevant topics related to the Chinese reman businesses. All discussions were conducted in several languages and had high attendance rates. The impressive area offered a remarkable combination of International and domestic automotive businesses and their products. Another noteworthy event was the AAG’s Welcome Dinner, which was attended by 500 official guests, who managed to discuss the most pressing industry issues in informal surroundings.
Niels Klarenbeek, director of Rematec, said
that the exhibition organizers managed to expose to the world the
remanufacturing industry of China and paved the way for greater cooperation
between local businesses and international counterparts. A huge success of the
1-st RA proves a great potential of the Chinese aftermarket and good future
prospects of Rematec in the region.
Influential leaders gathered at the
“Remanufacturing 50 Forum.” The one-day summit was attended by politicians,
representatives of major automakers and academic institutes. The advent of
Rematec to Asia has made a significant contribution to bridging the physical
gap between east and west in remanufacturing.
The last day of the exhibition was marked by a
tour to local reman businesses. The trip included the recently opened local auto
parts market, where more than a thousand vendors offered a variety of auto
spare parts. The visit gave a precise understanding in the difficulties and
prospects in return logistics in China.
