Automotive Interiors Expo is US-Bound

April 10, 2019 By Tech Help

The Hog Ring - Automotive Interiors Expo is US Bound

Can’t make it to Germany for Automotive Interiors Expo 2019? No problem. It’s coming to Michigan!

The event brings together automakers, interior manufacturers, styling houses, suppliers and trimmers to discuss the latest industry trends. More than 100 exhibitors will be in attendance.

The event’s website explains:

Automotive Interiors Expo…is about quality, color, texture, touch, feel and innovation.

You’ll find a wide range of fabrics, acoustical materials, shape-forming materials and foams, fasteners and adhesive systems, lighting and more! The show is a must-visit for Tier 1 suppliers as well as for interior design teams from car manufacturers wanting to keep up with the rapidly changing world of materials, finishes and technologies that contribute to “touch and feel.”

The show, which has been hugely successful in Europe every year since its launch in 2012, is of equal significance to design teams and procurement people. It is full of things to see, whether you are working as an interior designer or, just as importantly, as a Tier 1 or 2 component manufacturer.

This is the solutions show with a tremendous number of innovative products to see!

The event, which is scheduled for October 22 – 24, will be held at Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi, Michgan.

Like the upcoming WardsAuto Interiors Conference, this expo is more about materials, design and technology than it is about craftsmanship and tools. It provides a great opportunity to keep up with industry trends and stay ahead of the design curve. However, it’s not the type of event where you’ll meet a lot of car builders and craftsmen. (The SEMA Show is better for that).

For registration and details, visit the show website.
