Throughout the three-day event, exhibitors and visitors reported strong business engagement, quality networking opportunities, and promising lead generation.

The event was officially opened by Mr. Akanat Promphan, Thailand’s Minister of Energy, who highlighted the importance of collaboration between government, industry, and technology providers as Thailand continues its transition towards a more sustainable and innovative automotive future.
Reflecting on the event’s success, Mr. Sukumar Verma, Manging Director of Informa Markets Singapore, stated that the ASEAN tyre industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by changing customer expectations, sustainability priorities, operational efficiency, and advanced service technologies.
