“We are pleased to commit to exhibit at the CV Show,” said Supertrucks chairman Peter Wright. “At a stage when our company is expanding its output, the CV Show fits well with our marketing strategy and if our previous CV Show experience is any guide, we will gain several new orders at this event.
“We are currently in the very fortunate position of having a healthy order book and an innovative, modern product range. Also we are benefiting from strong demand from various European export markets, which is now accounting for approaching 20 per cent of our business.”
Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, on 24 – 26 April 2012 the CV Show is free to enter and pre-registration, which is highly recommended, is open here.
