Exhibiting in hall 2.0/stand C91, DENSO will be using the international event to commemorate 75 years of commitment to innovations, including the creation of the QR code in 1994 and world firsts in ignition, rotating electrics and thermal systems. Diesel development and the spark plug revolution are key DENSO specialisms, but the company has also redefined the landscape when it comes to air conditioning, with the creation of the HVAC system — capable of controlling the climate in three different cabin zones and helping improve overall fuel economy when the AC is on. DENSO will also highlight its robotics expertise by demonstrating an intuitive robot that will compete with visitors in a ‘Connect Four’ game. Town & Country has it covered Leading manufacturer of protective seat covers, Town & Country Covers, will be in a section of the SMMT stand in hall 5.1/E75. The firm, operating for 20 years, is one of the oldest seat cover manufacturers in the UK. All covers are designed and made from scratch by an in house team. Director James Newman said: “We haven’t had the chance to exhibit in recent years. Want to make sure we have a good amount of traffic on the stand, so it made sense to partner with another significant company in the industry.” MAHA UK’s trio of expertise MAHA UK managing director Neil Ebbs, along with Luke Fuller and Louis Tunmore, will represent the company in Frankfurt. Ebbs said the company is eager to demonstrate and discuss how its premium workshop solutions can support the automotive sector.
