Information

The 13th annual Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) New Products Showcase will again be held at Spring Carlisle in Carlisle, PA, Wednesday-Sunday April 21-25, 2010.

The showcase continues to grow every year…with a record number of products entries in 2009. Over 100,000 automotive hobbyists attend Spring Carlisle each year, and the ARMO Showcase Tent is located at the very center of the show in prime position…guaranteeing your products will be seen. This is a fantastic opportunity to put your new products in front of one of the largest gatherings of restoration enthusiasts in the county each year.

As in 2009, there will be no judging, but rather a focus on showcasing the products entered, with the side benefit of generating inquires and sales leads. This year we’re shooting for increased post-event product exposure – at the 2010 SEMA Show and elsewhere. All entries will be photographed at Spring Carlisle and the photos, product descriptions, and company name will be displayed in the ARMO booth at the 2010 SEMA Show.

Entry into the ARMO New Products Showcase is a fantastic opportunity to introduce your creative and innovative products to the hobbyists and the industry. As a council member, your participation is encouraged and it’s FREE.
