The Ukrainian auto parts market has long felt the need for a specialized communication platform that would bring together manufacturers, distributors, and dealers.
At the Radmir Expo Hall exhibition center, about a hundred companies involved in the production and supply of auto parts, tires, and oils showcased their products. The geography of participants covered Ukraine, the USA, Germany, Japan, the UK, Russia, Belarus, Turkey, Italy, and other countries. Company delegations were represented at a high level: heads of Ukrainian and Eastern European offices, network development directors, and leading branch managers.
The exhibition was visited by about 4 thousand people — owners and top managers of auto shops, heads of large fleets, and service stations.
All key segments of the auto components industry were presented on one platform: tires, oils, and spare parts.
Mykola Kondratets, who holds the position of Distribution Director at Omega-Avtopostavka, noted that the exhibition format is a common practice for the European auto parts market. According to him, entering the market of foreign auto components obliges the company to follow certain standards and adhere to unwritten international norms of business etiquette. Creating a platform where all market players can communicate directly with each other is precisely a manifestation of such good manners, and the company is proud that it managed to implement this.
Another important goal of the exhibition was the exchange of accumulated experience. Yaroslav Bysaga, CEO of Omega-Avtopostavka, emphasized that market participants constantly learn, as the market is dynamic and constantly changing. For the company, it is fundamentally important to hear colleagues' opinions, understand how to improve the situation in the industry, find out the priorities of supplier partners and clients, as well as study working schemes that have already proven effective in Europe.
During the two days of the exhibition, more than two dozen conferences and seminars organized by industry leaders took place. The events were dedicated to the topics "Tires", "Oils/Auto Chemicals", "Spare parts for foreign-made cars", and "Spare parts for CIS-made cars".
Already now, assessing the first results, the organizers consider the project promising and believe that it has every chance to become one of the most significant annual events in the Ukrainian automotive industry. They also stated their intention to hold this exhibition annually.
