Autopromotec Exhibition:

Branded from its earliest beginnings as an “international exhibition”, Autopromotec (back then called SARP – Exhibition of Tyre Retreading Equipment) was born in 1965 in Rome thanks to an AIRP (Italian Tyre Retreaders Association) initiative meant to give visibility to the technological developments experienced by the retreading sector in those years. 

The 2025 edition hosted Autopromotec EDU, an arena for closer examination of after sales service, which featured 20 meetings distributed over 4 days and over 100 speakers from international business enterprises, media, associations and consulting firms. A must-see within AutopromotecEDU was IAAM15 (International Automotive Aftermarket Meeting), which focused on the most innovative technological aspects of the car industry, with particular attention to the theme of information and communication technologies applied to vehicles.
