The most important event for the automotive aftermarket industry
AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) is one of the largest events dedicated to the global aftermarket industry. Each year, as part of Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week in Las Vegas, it attracts around 45,000 participants from 128 countries and more than 2,600 manufacturers and suppliers, showcasing their solutions across over 557,800 square feet of exhibition space. Attendees include not only distributors and automotive workshops, but also decision-makers from major retail chains, fleet managers, and representatives of related industries.
Our presence within the Polish national pavilion
This year’s edition of AAPEX was another automotive trade fair we participated in during the year. Following successes at the Detroit Auto Show and other events, we once again visited the United States thanks to the support of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH). By organizing a national pavilion at AAPEX, PAIH enables Polish companies to present themselves at one of the most prestigious events in the industry. Thanks to this initiative, we were able to promote Polish solutions alongside global leaders and strengthen Poland’s image as a reliable partner in the automotive sector.
At our booth, located within the PAIH national pavilion, we presented metalworking machines used in the production of aftermarket components—from body parts to precision mechanical elements. Visitors could see press brakes, guillotine shears, and cutting lines in action and experience their performance firsthand. With Otinus specialists on site, guests received expert advice on machine selection as well as information on configuration options tailored to the specific needs of repair shops and parts manufacturers.
Benefits and a unique offer
Participation in AAPEX is not only an opportunity to showcase our portfolio, but also to build business relationships with representatives from all over the world. Guided by the principle of reciprocity, we willingly shared our expertise, organized workshops on production process optimization, and presented real-world case studies of our machines in operation. In line with the authority principle, we positioned ourselves as experts in metalworking, presenting references from large international clients. The impressive scale of AAPEX itself provides strong social proof—the presence of tens of thousands of specialists and thousands of exhibitors confirms that we are part of the global forefront.
Our offer includes machines that increase production efficiency, minimize material waste, and guarantee precision. These are compelling arguments for fleet managers and workshop owners seeking to reduce costs while improving quality. At AAPEX, we also emphasized the limited availability of selected models (the scarcity principle), encouraging visitors to place orders quickly to take advantage of promotional conditions.
Thanks and invitation
We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth during AAPEX in Las Vegas. Your interest, questions, and constructive feedback are a valuable motivation for our continued development. We also extend our thanks to the Polish Investment and Trade Agency for organizing the national pavilion, which enables Polish companies—including Otinus—to be present in such important markets. We are proud to represent Poland at events in the United States and Europe, and we already invite you to upcoming trade fairs where our machines can be seen in action.
