The event from June 6 to 8 celebrates the thriving automotive parts and supply chain sectors and their contribution to the region.

More than 800 companies will be exhibiting at the 2017 event and 250 companies are set to exhibit at Automechanika Birmingham for the first time.

Simon Albert, event director of Automechanika Birmingham, said: “After last year’s overwhelming debut with a turnout of more than 12,000 visitors, this year’s event will be bigger and better with the size increased by 70 per cent.

“The importance of the UK automotive industry to the West Midlands economy is evident and we believe the sector will make a significant contribution going forward.

“The continued success of Automechanika Birmingham not only highlights the significance of the industry, but it also brings an industry to a city synonymous with the motor trade, with the region’s heritage immersed in automotive growth and success.”

There will be a programme of more than 60 seminar sessions, technical talks, topical discussions on current industry issues and inspiring new technology, as well as live demonstrations.

The exhibition for the UK’s aftermarket and supply chain will be in halls 6 and 17 to 20.
