For years, Polish companies have been a key link in the global automotive supply chain. Their competitive edge today lies not only in their competitive costs, but above all in quality, precision, production flexibility, technology and engineering expertise. An increasing number of domestic manufacturers are also developing their own brands and products, with which they are successfully entering markets outside Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One opportunity to showcase the potential of this sector of the Polish economy will be the upcoming AAPEX trade fair in Las Vegas, one of the most important events for the global automotive aftermarket. AAPEX 2026 will take place from 3 to 5 November at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum. The organisers are expecting over 2,500 exhibitors and around 45,000 professional visitors from across the entire aftermarket supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourteen companies will be showcasing their products and services at the Polish national stand: TERRA PRETA, MB ELIX, KUNAGONE, OXIMO, SOLVERA GAWEL TECHNOLOGY, NOYEN, EINPARTS EUROPE, EVOTEC, PRZEDSI\u0118BIORSTWO RANAL, HEGAM, TECHNOVATOR, HORPOL, LAMEL TECHNOLOGY and FA KROSNO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a wide range of products and technologies on display shows that the Polish automotive industry today comprises not only component suppliers to car manufacturers, but also a growing aftermarket sector, as well as its own brands and technologies aimed directly at foreign markets – says Dorota Szczytowicz from the PAIH\u2019s European Projects Office, coordinator of the Brand HUB project within the automotive sector.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies from Poland will be showcasing, among other things, automotive parts and components, lights, windscreen wipers, electronics and car accessories, cleaning products, and products for the repair and aftermarket sectors. The exhibitors will also include companies offering fasteners, gas springs, automation and quality control solutions, industrial technologies and innovative solutions designed to meet the changing needs of the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures show the potential<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to data from AutomotiveSuppliers.pl, exports of automotive parts and accessories from Poland reached a record value of EUR 17.88 billion in 2025 (+1.07 per cent year-on-year). Parts accounted for 40.8 per cent of the Polish automotive industry\u2019s total exports. Sales by component manufacturers reached PLN 118.8 billion, 4.3 per cent more than in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland is one of the world\u2019s largest exporters of automotive parts. Domestic manufacturers supply components and technologies to both European car manufacturers and customers on other continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Technology and quality are becoming increasingly important<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Polish automotive sector is undergoing a technological transformation similar to that of the global automotive industry as a whole. Automation, robotisation, vision systems, digital quality control, data analysis and IoT solutions form the foundation of modern production facilities today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advances in electronics, digitalisation and new energy management solutions are transforming not only cars, but also the entire supply chain. For Polish manufacturers, this means they must continue to invest in technology, product development and engineering expertise. This enables them to compete ever more effectively with the biggest global players – says Tomasz B\u0119ben, chairman of the Association of Automotive Parts Distributors and Manufacturers (SDCM).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Poland to global markets<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Polish companies, taking part in AAPEX is not only an opportunity to showcase their products, but above all a chance to hold face-to-face discussions with importers, distributors and potential business partners from the US and other markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US aftermarket is one of the largest and most demanding parts markets in the world. The average age of a car in the US is over 12 years, which means there is a steady demand for spare parts and consumables – precisely the areas in which Polish manufacturers excel. For many years, our companies have been supplying components to car manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers in Europe, and are increasingly marketing their own brands directly to distributors. They offer OEM-grade quality, flexibility even for smaller production runs, and reliable delivery. In Las Vegas, they will demonstrate that suppliers of \u201cMade in Poland\u201d products are suitable partners for long-term cooperation, rather than merely providers of cost-effective alternatives – says Bartosz Mielecki, Managing Director of the Polish Automotive Group (PGM) Association.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information about the Polish automotive industry and to meet Polish manufacturers, we invite you to visit the Polish National Stand V22032<\/strong>. As part of the project entitled ‘Internationalisation of SMEs – Brand HUB’, the PAIH is seeking to increase the international recognition of the Polish automotive sector and supporting companies in this sector in their international expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polish Investment and Trade Agency<\/strong> organises Polish National Stands as part of the Sectoral Programme for Promotion on Prospective Markets. The Sectoral Promotion Programme is implemented as part of the project entitled ‘Internationalisation of SMEs – Brand HUB<\/strong>‘ by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency in cooperation with the Ministry of Development and Technology, as part of the ‘European Funds for a Modern Economy 2021 -2027\u2019 programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the \u2018Internationalisation of SMEs – Brand HUB<\/strong>\u2019 project is to use and increase the growth potential of Polish SMEs and to increase the volume of exports through their participation in promotional activities on foreign markets. Sectoral promotion programmes are designed to support the recognition of these sectors on foreign markets by promoting the Polish Economy Brand under the slogan \u2018Poland. Business Forward<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
