Report Back: 2014 SEMA Show, Day 1

November 4, 2014 By Tech Help

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - 2014 SEMA Show

Day one of the 2014 SEMA Show was awesome! We registered, walked the convention floor, saw some jaw-dropping interiors, networked with company reps and even met a few members of The Hog Ring — including Fred Mattson of Convertible Tops and Interiors by Fred in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. 

However, we’re only getting started! Today was about logistics and hatching a plan. Now that we’re acquainted with the show layout, who’s here and figured out what interests us the most, we’re ready to conduct interviews and highlight some new products.

On our hit list: Alea Leather, Dash Top, TMI, Retro Belt, ACC, Distinctive Industries, Loud Mats, Fesler Built, Legendary Auto Interiors, and more!

To keep up with The Hog Ring on the convention floor, follow us on Instagram @TheHogRing. We’ll also be updating Twitter and Facebook from time to time.

If you’re at the show and want to meet up, drop us at note at info@thehogring.com.

Below are some photos from today’s event:
