Just In Time For Automechanika Dubai 2018, we want to make a reminder from our previous pots, which may be good to do a quick refresher on. 1. Before you walk the show, walk the map. With a horse-shoe like layout, Automechanika Middle East can be navigated fairly simply. At the same time, along with your path, you are likely to see many distractions, therefore, it’s best to give the exhibitors list, as well as the event program a look before getting started on your visits. Most likely, you will be approaching the show site from the lower right corner according to the map below. That’s where most Taxis pick up and drop off. The other possible entry will be from the upper right corner according to...

The automotive sector in Mexico, aftermarkets parts overview, and PAACE Automechanika Trade Show, which Temel Gaskets is also one of the attendances of the fair for many years, has been discussed in the webinar sections. This webinar was a great opportunity to learn about the massive opportunities available on automotive sector in Mexico and PAACE trade Show.

Temel Gaskets will be at Automechanika Istanbul 2018, an event which brings together the International Automotive Industry. Temel Gaskets’ booth will be located in Hall 7 at Stand B205. As usual, we wanted to share a few pointers with the hope to make your trip more convenient and productive. 1. Traffic is often busy. If you are reading this newsletter, we think it’s safe to assume that you intend to maximize your time spent on your business during this trip. A vast city, Istanbul covers 590 square miles. Arranging your accommodation nearby the show area will be the best choice for that purpose. Traveling from neighboring towns can be tricky during rush hour. Once the show wraps up, if your choice of mode of transport is a taxi cab, you will need to watch out for the colors depending on where you are headed. The show is close to the airport, that is always a neat advantage when departing after a successful visit. 2. Public transportation is even a better option. You can hail a taxi pretty much at any point in the city, on the other hand, if you are going long distances, your travel time on the metro will be way more predictable and it’s very convenient. There are many entrances to metro as well as connections to the Metrobus. You may still consider the Dolmuş for in between. Dolmuş are mini-busses which shuttle passengers along a certainly predetermined route and you are free to hop on and off at any point along this route. 3. A quick look at the exhibitor list can save time. The exhibitor list is available on Automechanika Istanbul 2018 website. Checking out the list...
