From parts and components to the latest tools and equipment, and from electronic gadgets to chemicals and car care products, the first-ever Latin Auto Parts Expo is an all-in-one trade show for all things automotive.
The Latin Auto Parts Expo is designed to let attendees stock up on essential core merchandise, add margin-drivers and diversify their inventory – all in one trip to Panama City. The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, organizers of the annual AAPEX show in Las Vegas, is participating in the Latin Expo and is bringing members to the exhibit.
To date, more than 157 international companies are registered to exhibit, including Multi Parts Supply, Pep Boys, Federal Mogul, Napa Auto Parts, Walker Products, Schaeffler Aftermarket, Beck/Arnley World Parts, Mahle Trading, Aisin World Corp. of America, Remy, Valvoline International Inc., B&B Manufacturing Corp., IDQ Holdings, Inc., Peak International, Warren Distribution, Robert Bosch, NAPA Auto Parts, and Standard Motor Products.
Panama is politically stable, has a free trade agreement in place with the United States and is a strategic entry point for entering the Latin American marketplace. With vehicles in operation forecasted to grow at 5.2 percent annually over the next five years, the auto care industry in Latin America is projected to grow more than 30 percent over the same period.
The expo offers exhibitors the opportunity to connect directly to auto parts dealers and retailers in Central and South America and the Caribbean to expand their market. Visitor registration is free to buyers and deadline for exhibitor booth space is May 1.

The show is organized by Latin Expo Group LLC, the same organizers of the Latin Tyre Expo. For more information email [email protected] or call +1 786-293-5186.
