TUNAP at Automechanika
TUNAP und der Aftermarket in der Automobilindustrie
As one of the leading providers of chemical-technical solutions for the automotive industry, TUNAP was represented with an extensive product portfolio. Our aftermarket products, which are specially tailored to the needs of workshops and the aftermarket, were at the center of our trade fair presence. One of the highlights was the presentation of our VDI/ZDK 6032-compliant airco well® air conditioning cleaning process. Together with new products such as the 998 hygiene cleaner for the pollen filter box and the corresponding cleaning tool, this aroused great interest among workshops, dealers and OEMs.
The response to our microflex® additives, which are known for their performance and efficiency, was particularly pleasing. With this TUNAP product line, we offer workshops the opportunity to clean and protect vehicle components. This extends the service life and therefore also contributes to sustainability. The demand for such innovative solutions in the aftermarket shows that TUNAP is ideally positioned to meet the growing demands of the automotive industry.
Exchange on trends and challenges in the aftermarket
During the five days at Automechanika, TUNAP employees had the opportunity to hold numerous discussions with customers, partners and interested parties. The focus was on current trends and challenges in the industry. The topics of sustainability and efficiency played a central role. TUNAP was able to show how our products help to reduce emissions and optimize energy consumption - two key topics that are becoming increasingly important for manufacturers, OEMs and the aftermarket. Workshops, OEMs and dealers from Germany and abroad took the opportunity to find out more about our customized solutions. They were impressed by our many years of expertise and our role as a reliable private label partner for private labels.
Positive response and outlook for Automechanika 2026
Automechanika 2024 was a complete success for TUNAP, not only because of the positive response to our products, but also because of the numerous new contacts we were able to make. We were able to strengthen existing partnerships and gain new customers for our innovative solutions.
We are already looking forward to Automechanika 2026, where we will once again be exhibiting. The trade fair has once again proven to be the perfect platform to present our solutions for the automotive aftermarket, OEMs, dealers and the private brand sector and to demonstrate our expertise. We look forward to helping shape the next Automechanika and once again providing important impetus for the industry.
