Exhibitor Comments

Hans-Jorg Koninger, managing director of the German car tuning club (Verband Deutscher Automobiltuner = VDAT):
The further increase in visitors clearly shows the growing interest in the theme of tuning. The quality of the exhibition has improved considerably. The exhibitors from our club are very pleased with the course of events and the success of the TUNING WORLD BODENSEE. This exhibition is very important for the branch.


Gerd Lukas, Sales, Abt Sportsline:
The exhibition was very sucessful for us. The public is made up of a very interesting mix; all ages and types of customer were represented. Of course, we were very happy to have some concrete orders: The TUNING WORLD BODENSEE is not just an exhibit event for us, it is also a sales event. We will certainly be here again next year.


Rolf Joachim Kurz, Marketing manager, Yokohama
As in previous years, Yokohama is well pleased with the overwhelming number of visitors and the quality of the discussions. This exhibition is of great importance to Yokohama, with regard to the consumer as well as with regard to the contact to other market participants. We are delighted about the success of the exhibition; would like to congratulate the complete exhibition team and we will also be the exhibition's partner in the coming year again.


Uli Schwarz, European Export Manager and PR Manager, Hamann Motorsport:
We felt the further growth at this TUNING WORLD BODENSEE again. We could meet and greet far more Swiss customers. Customer care was the main attraction of our exhibition appearance; we also made some sales. After the long winter, many of our faithful customers take the chance of the first May weekend to take a short break in Italy or Spain, unfortunately for us. However, we will be here again next year.


Jens Isenbeck, Marketing, Firma Irmscher Automobilbau:
The tradition of the previous years continues and we felt there was even a further improvement: with the turnover, the number of visitors and the expertise of the visitors. It was well worth taking part in this exhibition and we look forward to returning in 2007.


Ralf Kotarba, Managing Director, in.pro:
The exhibition was really great. We had a lot of encouragement from the public. The TUNING WORLD BODENSEE is important for the beginning of the season. We will be back next year.
