Melett has hailed its attendance at Automechanika Birmingham a success, following the three-day event at the NEC in Birmingham from June 6th-8th.

Members of the entire automotive aftermarket, from supplying companies to technicians and garage owners, flocked to the NEC to see the latest technology and innovation in the automotive sector.

Tom Irving, Melett UK Country Manager, said: “It was great to be exhibiting at Automechanika Birmingham, to meet with customers and promote a message of quality across turbocharger manufacturing, repair, and servicing. Trade exhibitions of this scale continue to provide a valuable networking opportunity and the perfect backdrop to growing the brand internationally.

“The high attendance of the exhibition proves that the sector is continuing to thrive despite challenges of supply chain disruption, the cost-of-living crisis, and geopolitical events. Birmingham is a key, international hub for aftermarket activity connecting important markets for the business, and we’ll look back on Automechanika Birmingham as a great success.”
