As Detlef Braun, member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt, noted: "The 25th Automechanika Frankfurt was the largest international event in its history. From September 11 to 15, 2018, more than 5,000 companies (2016: 4,843) presented their new products and solutions on more than 315,000 m².

Detlef Braun: "Our customers' feedback was unanimous: Automechanika Frankfurt has never before been so focused on the future. Automechanika Frankfurt showcased trends across all sectors of the automotive industry, the aftermarket, retail and workshops. The global megatrends include plug-in hybrid and clean vehicles and their servicing, and the development of workshop networks. The show offered a wealth of innovations for industry professionals. All 23 exhibition halls were completely full and buzzing with negotiations."

This year YUKOIL also set a record. YUKOIL specialists held about 100 negotiations with new and potential partners. The company was one of the few representatives of Ukraine's lubricants industry at the show, demonstrating a high level of European-standard production. Automechanika Frankfurt was an excellent opportunity to meet again with our existing international partners and discuss the development of cooperation. We thank everyone for the constructive dialogue and feedback. This is our invaluable resource, and it is why we take part in all the industry's global events.

The next Automechanika Frankfurt will take place on September 8–12, 2020.
