Nine new international media partners for UNITI expo

The organisers of UNITI expo, the new international trade fair for Europe, taking place in Stuttgart from June 3 – 5 2014, are pleased to officially announce the first group of media partners joining the event from around the world. Each title will focus UNITI expo editorial coverage in its own respective country or the geographical area it represents and serve as a reference point for visitors wishing to attend from these markets.

They are the following;

PetrolWorld – International. Modern Petrol - Russia and the CIS. Bensin & Kiosk – Norway. Staffetta Quotidiana – Italy. Forecourt Trader – UK and Ireland. Bensin & Butik – Sweden. Canadian Petroleum Contractor magazine – Canada. Convenience & Car Wash Canada – Canada. Service Station Australia – Australia and New Zealand. More to follow in the next few weeks.

Nick Needs, Managing Director of McLean Communications, jointly responsible for the international Sales and Marketing of UNITI expo, together with com-a-tec GmbH, said "The support of these publications from an international perspective, is a major step towards the event being seen as an event of global importance in the eyes of visitors and exhibitors from around the world. I would like to welcome our new partners and I look forward to working with them over the coming months, to help spread the message that, UNITI expo is the event that nobody wants to miss."

With over 220 exhibitors now, UNITI expo is developing at a rapid pace, having most of the major international suppliers of retail and fuel handling equipment firmly in place. The car wash side of the event also continues to grow, with major equipment manufacturers WashTec, Otto Christ, Kärcher and Tammermatic all signed up.

UNITI expo organisers have also started to develop a section on fuel transport & logistics, which will be "of tremendous benefit in the long term to the industry at large", says, Bruno Boroewitsch, CEO of Com-a-tec GmbH. "Transport & Logistics forms an important link in the downstream fuel supply chain and we would like UNITI expo to have a home for this type of business on an international scale. Talks with several of the key companies have been extremely worthwhile and we are continuing to press forward with this exciting initiative."

The UNITI expo road show rolls on, with recent appearances at Oil&nonoil in Italy, NACS PEI in the US, Autocomplex in Russia and the World LP Gas Forum, followed by APEA Live in the UK, at which it sponsored an industry innovation award.

A UNITI expo open day for exhibitors will be organised in Stuttgart on January 28^th 2014, aimed at giving participants a better appreciation of the venue, local services and the Stuttgart exhibition complex, prior to taking part in the event next June. Several companies still to book stands at UNITI expo, will also be invited to attend to have discussions with the organisers on site about the opportunities for them of exhibiting.
