9 Testimonials BUYERS I have been attending AAPEX for 25 years and it honestly is getting better! It is just not about products now, it is about the future and how technology is going to transform the market and this is the best place to learn and get a pulse on the market. I started my business 7 years ago, and after my first visit to AAPEX we got to become the distributors for a very important brand for automotive maintenance products. This has been a turning point for our company and a key aspect for its growth so far. I have been in the industry for 40+ years. There are many changes that have occurred and many still occurring. It is important to keep up. Great experience. This was my first trip to AAPEX and I definitely want to go back. Wonderful opportunity to meet new people, meet face to face with people I ve been talking to years, and meeting up with old friends. Fantastic showcase of new products and technology.

10 Testimonials SUPPLIERS I would recommend this show to everyone. I have been participating for 15 years now and would continue to do so AAPEX is the number one venue for anyone in the automotive aftermarket in the USA, whether you sell domestically or international. The visitors represent all countries and bring opportunities to buy and sell your products. This year s AAPEX was the best yet. I was able to meet with top decision makers from many regional and national companies. All this leads to business opportunities that I would have never realized. And all in one location! AAPEX is the best platform bringing together professionals from all levels of the organization from the global automotive industry. At the show, all decision makers are ready to be introduced to new companies, new ideas and products. It s the best opportunity to gain the maximum brand exposure while immediately meeting with new potential needs.
