Automechanika Istanbul 2025, a key event for boosting the global presence of the Spanish automotive components sector

• The largest international trade fair in Turkey and the leading meeting point for the automotive components and aftermarket industry in the region will be held from June 12th to 15th, 2025, at TUYAP Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul.
• Turkey is the world’s 14th largest vehicle producer, with a strong industrial base and export-oriented approach. Its geostrategic location and trade agreements with Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries make it a key market for Spanish manufacturers. In recent years, Spanish exports of components to Turkey have exceeded €600 million.
• Autoparts From Spain, the internationalization platform for Spanish automotive component suppliers, will be present in the Spanish Group Pavilion organized by Sernauto, alongside AMC, Talosa, DYS-IR, Fersa Bearings and Icer Brakes. 

The Spanish automotive components industry continues to play a significant role on the international stage through its participation in Automechanika Istanbul 2025, the benchmark event for the components sector in the Eurasian region. The fair, taking place from June 12th to 15th at TUYAP Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul, will feature prominent Spanish companies that are part of Autoparts From Spain, the internationalization platform for Spanish component suppliers.

In this edition, the three Spanish companies participating under Autoparts From Spain are AMC (Amadeo Martí Carbonell) – Hall 3, Stand A150, Talosa and DYS-IR – Hall 8, Stand C102, Fersa Bearings – Hall 3, Stand D100 and Icer – Hall 8, Satnd A100 with coordination by SERNAUTO from Stand D104 in the same hall. Their presence enhances the international visibility of the Spain brand in a strategically important context and strengthens the country's reputation as a key supplier in the global automotive components market.

Automechanika Istanbul has established itself as one of the world’s most important industry gatherings, benefiting from its privileged position between Europe and Asia. In 2024, the event hosted 1,450 exhibitors from 35 countries and 60,283 professional visitors from 152 countries—figures expected to be surpassed this year. Its international scope makes it a highly valuable platform for Spanish companies looking to expand their presence in markets such as Turkey, the Middle East, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and North Africa.

Turkey is one of the leading hubs for production and export of automotive components in Europe and the Middle East. It’s a priority market for the Spanish automotive components sector, both in terms of volume and growth potential. In recent years, Spanish exports of components to Turkey have exceeded €600 million, with a 52% year-on-year increase, making it Spain’s fourth-largest non-EU export destination. This strategic environment, boosted by growing local demand and Turkey’s role as a gateway to Central Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, offers Spanish companies a unique opportunity to strengthen commercial ties and grow internationally.

This regional ecosystem is especially relevant for Spanish manufacturers, who are actively pursuing market diversification and consolidation of their global presence. As Mª Begoña Llamazares, spokesperson for the Autoparts From Spain initiative, explains: “Internationalization is a strategic pillar for Spanish automotive companies, and participating in events like Automechanika Istanbul allows us to strengthen visibility, business partnerships, and the global positioning of our brands.”

Spain’s participation in this fair is part of a well-established internationalization strategy led by SERNAUTO, aimed at enhancing the global presence of national suppliers. The Spanish Group Pavilion, organized by SERNAUTO in collaboration with ICEX Spain Trade and Investment, is designed to present a unified image of the sector and facilitate access to priority markets. This initiative is part of the sector-specific plan to support exports and promote Spain’s automotive supply industry.

Innovation and excellence: Hallmarks of Spanish component suppliers

The Spanish companies participating this year perfectly embody the distinctive values of the national automotive components industry: continuous innovation, high technical capability, and strong international customer focus.

• AMC, with over 60 years of experience, is a global reference in the design and manufacture of cylinder heads and engine components. During the fair, the company will showcase innovations focused on gas engines and industrial vehicle solutions, sectors with high growth potential in emerging markets.
• Talosa and DYS-IR, specializing in steering and suspension components, arrives in Istanbul with a revamped product line in rubber-metal and solutions tailored to new safety and efficiency demands.
• Fersa Bearings, a multinational expert in bearing solutions, will focus on strengthening its contact network in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, while also reinforcing its alliance with its Turkish distributor.
• Icer Brakes, Europe's leading independent brake pad manufacturer, is presenting its commitment to safety, durability and 100% European manufacturing in Istanbul. With over 60 years' experience, the Spanish company is committed to continuous innovation in the development of copper-free, low-particulate-emission friction materials, in response to the sector's growing environmental demands.

Autoparts From Spain, the platform that brings together these among others leading international companies in the sector, plays a crucial role in this strategy. Since its creation, it has become a digital showcase of the Spanish automotive component offering, available in three languages (Spanish, English, and French). It includes detailed product information, images, videos, and manufacturer profiles.

Turkey: A strategic market for the Spanish components industry

Turkey is currently the 14th-largest vehicle producer worldwide, with a solid industrial foundation and export-driven orientation. It hosts a high concentration of international vehicle manufacturers and a growing ecosystem of aftermarket companies. Its strategic geographic location and trade agreements with Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries make it a vital market for Spanish manufacturers.

For the brands under Autoparts From Spain, this environment offers an ideal opportunity to connect with new distributors, increase market share, and showcase their innovations on a top-tier international stage.

Through their participation in Automechanika Istanbul 2025, Spanish automotive component companies reaffirm their strong commitment to innovation, excellence, and global expansion. This collective presence not only strengthens the image of Spain’s industry as a technological leader but also opens new doors for partnerships with manufacturers, importers, and distributors from around the world.
