There will be five Strategic Partners involved with CAPAS for the upcoming three editions from 2016 to 2018.

By promoting themselves at CAPAS, companies will have their brand image elevated by increased advertising at a major industry event. An increasing number of high-quality buyers attend the show looking to source new products and find the latest advancements in the industry. This year, 16,000 global buyers are expected, including highly-qualified professional dealers, agents, distributors, wholesalers, service providers, auto parts and car manufacturers as well as retailers.

Liqui Moly is known worldwide as one of the leading engine oil, lubricant, additive and car care manufacturers in Europe and is Germany’s number one brand for automotive engine oils. Liqui Moly has been a loyal exhibitor since the first edition of CAPAS and they have dutifully participated in the show each year.

Liqui Moly’s Marketing Manager, Mr Gao Suhuai believes Southwest China’s automotive market has high potential for growth and the area is also the primary region for Liqui Moly products’ promotion. He explained: “In recent years, the sales of Liqui Moly have grown quickly in the Southwest China market.
