Car-O-Liner, Car Bench, Stanners Equipment, Chicago Pneumatic Tools, Cumbrian Marketing and Spraytherm have confirmed they are to exhibit at Crash International, the bodywork and crash repair trade show to be held at G-Mex in Manchester on October 2-3.

The Netherlands based organiser says it has held “positive talks” with a number of aftermarket product suppliers and that it was hopeful of signing major insurers.

Crash International has been operating for eight years in Holland. The Manchester event, supported by the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association, will be the first held in Britain and is planned to be held every two years.
