YINK’s Exciting Presence at the 2024 Automechanika Shanghai(AMS)
This December, the YINK team had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 Automechanika Shanghai(AMS), one of the industry’s most prominent gatherings. Held in the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center, the exhibition brought together innovators, businesses, and professionals from around the globe, all eager to showcase their latest technologies and establish meaningful connections.
For YINK, this was more than just another trade show—it was an invaluable chance to connect with our customers face-to-face, introduce our latest advancements in PPF cutting technology, and explore fresh opportunities to expand our reach in the market.
Key Highlights From the Exhibition
The YINK booth was buzzing with energy from the very first day. With our cutting-edge PPF cutting machines and software on display, we attracted a wide range of visitors, including industry professionals, business owners, and car enthusiasts.
1. Meeting New and Existing Clients
During the exhibition, we had the pleasure of meeting several of our existing clients, many of whom were thrilled to see the latest updates to our software, particularly the Super Nesting feature, which minimizes material waste and maximizes efficiency. It was a joy to hear firsthand how YINK’s solutions have positively impacted their businesses over the past year.
But perhaps the most exciting part was connecting with new potential customers. Over the course of the exhibition, our team engaged with over 50 new contacts, including automotive shop owners, distributors, and manufacturers. Some of these discussions have already opened doors to exciting partnerships in the coming year.
2. Showcasing Innovation
One of the key draws of our booth was the live demonstrations of our PPF cutting software in action. Attendees were impressed by how seamlessly our machines operated and how our software’s precision can transform the workflow for automotive shops. Many were particularly intrigued by how YINK’s technology can reduce material waste and speed up installation processes—two pain points for many businesses.
Our team was also proud to highlight our commitment to continuous innovation, emphasizing how our software updates and new features are driven by feedback from real users. For example, several attendees remarked that our vast car template library made us stand out in the market, ensuring that shops could cater to a wide variety of vehicle models.
3. Networking with Industry Leaders
The Shanghai Trade Show also gave us a unique opportunity to engage with other key players in the automotive and protective film industries. From discussing the latest trends to exchanging insights on where the market is headed, these conversations were invaluable. We’re confident that the connections made during the exhibition will help us stay ahead of the curve as we move into 2025.
YINK’s Exhibition History: Our Domestic Footprint
The Shanghai Trade Show is one of many exhibitions that have shaped YINK’s journey over the years. From our humble beginnings at small regional trade fairs to becoming a prominent player at national automotive exhibitions, YINK’s exhibition history reflects our growth, dedication, and innovation in the PPF industry.
Our First Steps: Regional Trade Fairs
Our journey began in 2018, when YINK participated in its very first regional automotive trade fair in southern China. While the event was relatively small in scale, our cutting-edge PPF cutting solutions quickly captured the attention of local attendees. This marked the beginning of our realization that face-to-face interaction and live demonstrations were powerful tools for showcasing our products and understanding customer needs. These early events encouraged us to aim for larger exhibitions and expand our market reach.
Making a Mark at National Exhibitions
By 2019, YINK moved beyond regional fairs and began showcasing our solutions at larger national-level exhibitions. Our debut at the China International Auto Products Expo (CIAACE) in Beijing was a significant milestone. This event allowed us to reach a broader audience of automotive professionals and business owners from all over China. The positive reception we received confirmed that YINK’s innovative PPF cutting technology was ready to meet the needs of a rapidly growing domestic market.
Continuing Growth Through Major Domestic Platforms
In 2020, with the impact of the pandemic, we adapted by participating in a mix of virtual and in-person exhibitions. During this time, we strengthened our presence at various online trade shows designed for the Chinese automotive industry, ensuring that our connection to customers and partners remained strong despite global challenges.
As the situation normalized in 2021, YINK returned to the physical exhibition space by attending several key trade shows across major cities like Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Shanghai. These events not only reinforced our commitment to serving the domestic market but also helped us refine our product offerings based on direct feedback from Chinese customers.
Shanghai Trade Show: A Key Event in Our Journey
By 2023, YINK had solidified its reputation as a leading brand in the Chinese automotive market, with the Shanghai Trade Show becoming one of the most important platforms for us to showcase our latest technologies. The Shanghai show allowed us to connect with a wider audience of automotive professionals, distributors, and car enthusiasts, cementing our role as an industry innovator.
