This issue of
SEMA News continues our tradition of highlighting the great new products our manufacturers unleashed at the SEMA Show. Through
SEMA News, the SEMA website and a variety of other media outlets, we amplify and carry forward one of the Show’s primary value propositions: creating high-level awareness for the industry’s innovative and trendsetting new products.
It has been said that a rising tide lifts all boats. Well, the industry was buoyed appreciably in November at the 2010 SEMA Show, and I’d like to thank all who participated in once again delivering the industry’s most valuable annual business gathering.
The 2010 Global Tire Expo more than delivered, even when just examining
initial statistics. Show management indicates that tire and
wheel-related new-product submissions for the New Products Showcase were
up more than 45%.
So far, 180 tire companies—of which 34 are first-timers—are exhibiting
at the Global Tire Expo—Powered by TIA in the South Hall’s lower level.
For 2010, SEMA and the Tire Industry Association (TIA) have created
this tire industry-only part of the SEMA Show, which will be open to
all segments of the tire industry, including automotive, commercial,
retreading, recycling and more.
