The international service station and car wash sectors now have their own ’place in the sun’ in the new south-west outdoor area at this year’s Automechanika, described by the organisers as the world’s leading international trade fair for the automotive industry. Trade visitors to the German show, which opens in Frankfurt on September 14-19, will be able to see car washes, gantry systems and the latest products

from the vehicle care sector in action. The major themes for the car wash and service station sector at this year’s Automechanika will be systems, equipment, lubricants, ancillary products and consumables, service station planning and construction, service station equipment, refuelling systems for alternative fuels, car wash bays and automated car washes, washing facilities, vehicle care equipment, cleaning products and vehicle valeting.

The new south-west outdoor area is expected to attract a great deal of attention in its location next to the new Hall 11 and the prestigious new Portalhaus Entrance.
