Organisers of the Commercial Vehicle Show are delighted that Shanghai-based GiTi Tire will be exhibiting for the first time at next year's Show and, according to GiTi representatives, the company will be investing a 'significant amount' in publicising the company's ever-increasing range of truck and bus tyres. GiTi's 54 square metre stand (Hall 8 -141) will be designed to raise the profile of the GiTi brand and product range.

The rapid growth in China's economy has led to an increased demand for premium first-class tyres and has provided the perfect opportunity for GiTi Tire to expand the Chinese tyre manufacturing industry, with increased activity in sales and production in spite of intense competition in the Chinese market.

The GiTi Tire Group is China's largest manufacturer and supplier of top quality tyres and, with five manufacturing plants and a network of more than 45 sales and service offices in China, the company now exports its products to over 80 countries in Europe, Asia, America and Africa.

The CV Show is the fastest growing and most successful business to business event of its type in Europe, with free entry available across the three day exhibition. The event is owned by the CV Show Partnership, comprising the Road Haulage Association, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and the IRTE (Institute of Road Transport Engineers), a professional sector of the SOE (Society of Operations Engineers). Crystal Communications handles stand space sales and marketing for the Partnership.
