African tire show close to selling out

April 7, 2006

Tyrexpo Africa 2006 is 75% sold out, according to ECI International Ltd., the event's organizer.

"The enthusiasm and support received by both national and international exhibitors have far exceeded (our) expectations," say ECI officials.

"With five months still to go, 30% of exhibitors originate from South Africa and the sub African continent, while 70% are from overseas."

The show will be held Sept. 12-14 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Tyrexpo Africa 2006 complements the Tyrexpo Asia (Singapore) and Brityrex International (United Kingdom) series of events organised by ECI.
