Reifen, the 25th International Tire Fair which took place in May 2008 was truly a record setting event. 576 exhibitors - an increase of more than 100 exhibitors compared to the last show - displayed their latest innovations and services to more than 17,600 trade visitors from over 80 countries. Reifen was even more international this year with more than 57% of all visitors coming from abroad.

in spite of the difficulties this market is experiencing, the exhibitors were incredibly happy with the results. Even the visitors agreed that they will be back in 2 years to the largest international tire trade show in the world. The show's product offerings include tires, rims, wheels, chassis technology, tire repair shop equipment, tire retreading, and vulcnaization among many others.

TIA, the Tire Industry Association and TRIB - Tire Retread Information Bureau are ardent supporters of the show and realize the opportunities for American companies who take part in the show. Harvey Brodsky, MAnaging Director of TRIB states, " My visit to Reifen in 2008 was my first, but definitely will not be my last. The show exceeded my expectations and I would encourage anyone who has a serious interest in learning about the latest in retreading equipment, machinery and supplies to not miss this important show."
