FIGIEFA and Autopromotec Begin a Partnership
FIGIEFA, the trade association representing independent auto parts distributors, is joining Autopromotec 2027 as an institutional partner. The collaboration’s key priorities include promoting competition, innovation, and the right to repair vehicles.
Autopromotec announced the new partnership in a LinkedIn post. The collaboration strengthens the trade show’s international network and brings together two organizations committed to developing the automotive aftermarket.
As part of the collaboration, Autopromotec will participate in the FIGIEFA conference in Brussels on November 4, 2026. The conference’s theme is the role of the aftermarket in the renewal of European industry. The event brings together industry stakeholders to discuss the future of the aftermarket and the political priorities that shape it.
FIGIEFA represents independent auto parts distributors in dealings with the EU and international institutions. The organization’s mission includes safeguarding free competition in the aftermarket, maintenance, and repair sectors, as well as defending motorists’ right to choose where to have their vehicles serviced and repaired.
The next Autopromotec will be held May 26–29, 2027, at the BolognaFiere exhibition center in Italy. This international event, which focuses on automotive workshop equipment and the aftermarket, will be held for the 31st time.
