Reifen is over; the Global Tire Expo is next

June 20, 2012

The 27th Reifen Trade Fair recently ended, but not before setting attendance records.

The bi-yearly ievent, held in Essen, Germany, brings in exhibitors and visitors from all over the globe. The exhibitors represented 44 nations; the visitors, or buyers, came from more than 130 countries.
