Next year's Tyrexpo Africa convention and trade show is 70% sold out. Companies from the United States, China, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries have already reserved space.
Tyrexpo Africa '08 will be held March 4-6 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"The success of the first show in 2006 proved that there was a receptive market for a trade-only event of this kind," says Rowena Suthers, sales director for ECI International, the event's organizer.
