The company believes this year’s event to be every bit as good as the 2005 exhibition, which Managing Director James Boon labelled at the time as the best show he had ever attended. “Brityrex 2005 was a hard act to follow for us, but the move to Manchester this year and all the improvements that went with it means that without doubt 2007 will prove to be even better both in terms of immediate sales and long term projects,” commented Mr. Boon.

“I think it’s a huge disappointment that this show doesn’t get more support from the tyre manufacturers, and the effort put in by everybody else really and truthfully puts them to shame for not supporting such an event. That said, the quality of visitor and atmosphere of the new venue ensured we had another great exhibition, and I think the organisers deserve some real praise for putting on a fantastic, well organised and high profile exhibition despite two years of negativity from many within the industry”.

Hofmann Megaplan displayed its new ‘Quadraclamp’ system featured on the megamount 701XL tyre changer alongside the full range of wheel balancers and changers. A record order intake and a number of new contacts offering significant potential put smiles on the faces of the Hofmann Megaplan team at the end of the show, and the company has already pledged its support for 2009.
