LIQUI MOLY

“In spite of the march of digitisation, we continue to work in a ‘people business’, because personal interaction leads to better ideas and allows decisions to be made more swiftly. Automechanika is a powerful concept for the aftermarket, and if it didn’t exist, we would have to invent it.”

Michael Söding, CEO
Automotive Aftermarket,
Schaeffler AG

“Bringing innovations and emotions together on the same stage – this is a feat that Automechanika accomplishes again and again. It’s no wonder that we’ve been taking advantage of this successful trade fair format for many decades now to showcase our products and services at Automechanika events all around the globe.”

Olaf Henning, CEO
MAHLE Aftermarket

“The demands placed on workshops, dealers and parts manufacturers have greatly increased. To name but one example, over the past few decades, control units have gone from being practically non-existent to something found in almost every car. And change is continuing. Yet there is one thing that is certain: The aftermarket is and will remain one of the most exciting industries there is.”

Helmut Ernst, Director
ZF Aftermarket

“Automechanika is a global brand for every facet of the automotive aftermarket. Anyone who knows the industry understands that an Automechanika event is the ideal place for presenting their products and services and for networking, no matter where in the world it is taking place.”
