Welcome to Motortec Automechanika Ibérica.

Welcome to the leading trade fair in the Iberian automotive parts and aftermarket sector!

Motortec Automechanika Ibérica is a highly appreciated member within the worldwide family

of 12 Automechanika trade fairs. After all the strategic alliance between the two global players

Feria Madrid and Messe Frankfurt we took up in 2011 is something unique. For the first time a

major German trade fair company has brought one of its strongest event brands to Spain. The

preconditions couldn’t be better: After Germany, Spain is Europe’s second biggest market for

automobile components. The premiere of the new alliance two years ago was a full success with

exhibitors from 20 countries and around 39.000 professional participants from 41 countries. This

year’s edition with 500 exhibitors from 18 countries proves again that the Iberian Peninsula is a

market with a high growth potential.

For buyers, distributors, workshops and service stations Motortec Automechanika Ibérica is a

favoured hotspot. The next four days will give plenty of opportunities to visit and strengthen

business relationships as well as to find and discover new products, technologies and services.

Just like Automechanika in Frankfurt this year’s event put up various different initiatives to make

the visit for the B2B public even more valuable. E.g. don’t miss Neumaforum, which focuses

on the tyre segment and the export area Spain XportAftermarks; or follow the initiative Truck

Competence, which generates a new transparence in the sector of Industrial Vehicles; or watch

out for new solutions and trends in the field of Green Mobility. In all the cases, the involvement of

participants is required to provide exhibition content and training.

Enjoy the time here at the ‘Parque Ferial Juan Carlos I’ Exhibition Centre. It is one of the world’s

most important venues for international fairs. I wish you numerous contacts and successful

business discussions during Motortec Automechanika Ibérica.
