Elevating the Bodyshop Sector: A New International Focus at Autopromotec
Tommaso Caravani, Head of the bodyshop Sector at Notiziario Motoristico, states: “Autopromotec is the leading event for Italian automotive service professionals. Through these events, we will bring international recognition to the bodyshop industry, a sector that is becoming increasingly important and more transversal within automotive repair. Our goal is to create events capable of capturing the attention of both Italian and international visitors during the trade fair, with a completely new format. This initiative will not stop at this first edition—we hope it will grow over time and become a permanent fixture within the Bologna exhibition center.”
Renzo Servadei, CEO of Autopromotec, adds: “We are pleased that Notiziario Motoristico has chosen Autopromotec as the stage for organizing this international format, which will undoubtedly enrich the event’s conference schedule with interesting content. The bodyshop sector is increasingly dynamic and plays a key role in the development of connected vehicles, as it is responsible for advanced sensor technology and equipment that require proper maintenance.”
