Introduction
The TBP Auto team attended AAPEX 2025 in Las Vegas this November, joining thousands of professionals from across the global automotive aftermarket. Our objective was clear – to strengthen our market understanding, identify innovation opportunities, and deepen connections with key industry partners.
Observing an Industry in Motion
AAPEX remains the leading event for the global aftermarket, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, technology providers, and service professionals. This year’s edition highlighted the rapid transformation driven by electrification, diagnostics, and digital integration. For TBP Auto, the event was an opportunity to engage directly with these developments, evaluate where we stand, and gather insight that will guide our next phase of growth.
Walking through the exhibition halls at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, our team engaged with suppliers across parts, tooling, and diagnostic technology. These conversations provided a valuable benchmark against international standards and reaffirmed the importance of aligning our operations with emerging technologies and sustainability practices.
Building Relationships and Perspective
We had the chance to meet with long-term partners to review current collaborations and shared our growth plans for the American market. These discussions opened the door to future joint initiatives around product development, technical training, and regional logistics.
Equally valuable were the informal exchanges with other aftermarket professionals. Hearing how businesses across different regions are adapting to rapid technological change provided context and validation for TBP Auto’s own direction.
“Our visit to AAPEX reaffirmed that the aftermarket is moving faster than ever,” said Ms. Andy Tran – Marketing and Account Manager at TBP Auto. “To stay competitive, we must keep adapting and seeking out partnerships that share our commitment to quality and sustainability.”
Turning Insight into Action
The conversations, connections, and lessons from AAPEX 2025 will directly shape our next steps. Over the coming months, we will be diversifying our product portfolio based on market feedback, expanding partnerships initiated at the event, and investing in training to strengthen our team’s technical expertise. Our goal is to ensure TBP Auto continues to deliver a modern, reliable, and competitive offering to every customer we serve.
“AAPEX is not just about products; it’s about perspective. Seeing where the global market is heading helps us make smarter decisions for our customers and for the future of TBP Auto.” – Thomas Heller, Director of TBP Auto.
