2022/10/21 | By Tingyu Chao

North America's biggest auto parts show AAPEX 2022 is kicking off on November 1 at Venetian Expo (formerly Sands Expo). With the U.S. as a major destination for Taiwan's aftermarket auto parts, especially with the infrastructure bill attracting significant investment from all sides, AAPEX would mark the beginnings of the "made in the U.S." movement and is prepared to kick off lucrative network opportunities all around.

As AAPEX was one of the few shows able to continue in-person fashion last year, many of the visiting buyers came from countries in North, Central, and South America due to the pandemic. This year's edition is a three-day event, with expectations that business networking will return to pre-pandemic levels as the COVID situation eases.

AAPEX covers seven main product themes, including ​​auto parts and accessories, air conditioning, car audio, anti-theft products, electronic devices, batteries, seat belts, brake parts, chassis, clutch, cooling system, transmission and transmission, metal components, heavy vehicle parts and accessories, lifting equipment, service equipment, commissioning equipment, vehicle repair tools and equipment, repair shop equipment, automotive lighting and auto beauty products.

As an important media partner for Taiwanese auto parts suppliers, Economic Daily News (CENS) will be exhibiting at booth A1078 and has brought out the big guns by not only just offering on-site buyers CENS-published "Taiwan Transportation Equipment Guide" and "Taiwan HandTools" industry magazines, but also the AAPEX Show Express, a supplier guide published specifically for the show.

CENS continues to uphold traditions by quickly matching buyers with suitable, quality Taiwanese auto parts and hand tool suppliers and providing channels to obtain the latest industry news, trends, and new technologies, allowing buyers to make informed decisions.

Buyers can also use CENS' exclusive business matchmaking services by simply filling out surveys, enabling buyers to receive information on suppliers with price-performance competitiveness. This helps remove roadblocks that make the international procurement process cumbersome, such as geographical distance and differences in time zones.

Among the 53 exhibitors from Taiwan showcasing at the show this year, CENS has formed an exhibition team of over 40 quality Taiwanese suppliers, including Hwang Yu supplying ball joints (Booth No. A5346), LC Fuel Tank's fuel tanks (Booth No. A1681 and A1682), Jiuh Ching's various auto and scooter parts, and Fashion Auto Parts' shock absorber assembly (Booth No. A1181). As part of a significant team, it shows how CENS has built up a reputation among auto parts suppliers after years of careful cultivation of partnerships.
