Industry Week 2003
PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Exide Technologies,
(BULLETIN BOARD: EXDTQ) ( http://www.exide.com/ ), a global leader in stored
electrical-energy solutions, will have a strong presence next week in Las Vegas
at Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) 2003, the automotive industry's
largest international aftermarket trade gathering.
AAIW is composed of two separate but related exhibitions that run concurrently.
The Aftermarket Automotive Products Expo (AAPEX) 2003, housed at the Sands
Convention Center, is the largest automotive aftermarket trade show in the
world, sponsored by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) and
Motor Equipment & Manufacturers' Association (MEMA). The SEMA Show 2003, held at
the Las Vegas Convention Center and sponsored by the Speciality Equipment Market
Association (SEMA), is the premier automotive specialty products trade event. A
third trade organization, the Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association
(AWDA), hosts supplier/buyer meetings in conjunction with the exhibitions.
A 35-member team from Exide's global Transportation Business Group will exhibit
under the powerful theme It All Starts Here to accompany its presence at the
event. Exide's futuristic AAPEX exhibit, located on the Automotive Parkway in
space #5600 on the upper level, will feature the Company's innovation and
progress in products and aftermarket services, present the impact of
technological partnerships, as well as Exide's solid turnaround accomplishments
as the Company prepares to emerge from Chapter 11 restructuring later this
year.
In addition, Exide will host a press conference to discuss significant customer
wins, contract extensions with key business partners, and the status of Chapter
11 restructuring. Exide press materials also will be available at the Company's
exhibit as well as in the AAPEX and SEMA press rooms.
The theme will be carried further at SEMA, where the Exide exhibit, located in
the Mobile Electronics section in space #20025, will feature the leading Exide
Select Orbital XCD battery as well as a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline low rider
automobile. The car, the Lowrider Magazine "Bomb" of the year for 2002 and
2003, is equipped with 10 Orbital XCD batteries that power the hydraulics, audio
and video systems -- showing the many uses of this technologically-advanced
battery for both audio and specialty applications.
"Exide's presence at AAIW 2003 is of threefold importance," said David G.
