American International Motorcycle Expo
Showcases Spanish Motorcycling
IRVINE, Calif. (October 1,
2013) – The American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) has announced that
it is working with a collaboration of Spanish exhibitors to dedicate an area of
the show floor highlighting the Spanish motorcycling culture. The showcase will
highlight a diverse selection of six of its more-well-known companies, as well
as a Spanish Lounge.
The
theme of the Spanish area will be the “Power of Spain,” and will feature
Spanish brands including Airsal Cylinders,
(J.Juan Brake Systems), NG Brake Disc, Puig Windshields, Turbo Kits Exhausts, and Zeibe Moto Cleaners. Additionally, the area
will include several attendee amenities including an electronic charging
station, a lounge area, and a helmet cleaning service.
Arguably
most recognizable for its flourishing scooter population, Spain has become a
standard bearer for the scooter segment of the global marketplace while also
providing some of the best performance and design products in the world.
“Spanish motorcycling brands have a long history in the American market and it’s a big part of why we chose to dedicate a section of the show floor to it,” said Mike Webster, President of Marketplace Events’ Trade Show Division. “Even more importantly, the influence of Spanish companies on the North American marketplace is something that we recognize and want to share with everyone who attends AIMExpo. The U.S. consumer is known for wanting the best-of-the-best and the companies we have exhibiting at the show all provide high-end, high-performance products.”
With
the inclusion of the Spanish showcase, AIMExpo establishes itself as the
largest gathering of European manufacturers, distributors, and associations of
any powersports trade show in North America.
Attendees
at AIMExpo will also have the opportunity to get a “Taste of Spain” with Master
Slicer Francisco Carrasco, whose extensive years of training have made him an
expert in the fine art of slicing Spanish ham. Carrasco will be serving free
samples of his country’s iconic Iberico ham and other Spanish culinary delights
at the Spanish Lounge.
The inaugural AIMExpo will revolutionize the
Powersports industry as North America’s first combined consumer, trade and
media event. It will be held on October 16-20, 2013 at the Orange County
Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
