The global automotive industry is undergoing a transformation driven by electrification, digitalization, and the reorganization of supply chains. In this context, international trade fairs such as Automechanika Istanbul have become strategic platforms for generating new business opportunities and strengthening commercial relationships between manufacturers, distributors, and component suppliers.
From May 19 to 22, 2026, the Istanbul TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center will once again bring together thousands of aftermarket and automotive industry professionals at one of the sector’s leading international events.
At this new edition, Autoparts From Spain , the platform bringing together leading Spanish manufacturers and exporters of automotive components produced in Spain, will participate within the Spanish Pavilion organized by SERNAUTO in collaboration with ICEX Spain Trade and Investment.
Participating companies include AMC and Tecnodiesel Murcia , two manufacturers with extensive international experience and a solid track record in the automotive components industry.
In recent years, Automechanika Istanbul has established itself as one of the leading international meeting points for the automotive aftermarket industry. Its strategic location makes Turkey a natural bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, facilitating business connections between manufacturers and key markets.
The trade fair has become especially relevant for companies seeking to expand their international presence, identify new distributors, or strengthen relationships with customers in high-potential markets.
At its latest edition, the event brought together more than 1,450 exhibitors from 35 countries and welcomed over 60,000 professional visitors from 152 international markets. These figures reflect Turkey’s growing importance within the global automotive supply chain and the industry’s interest in strengthening its position in the region.
Turkey’s industrial evolution has turned the country into one of the strategic markets for Spanish automotive component manufacturers.
In addition to its strong production capacity and the presence of international manufacturers, Turkey plays a key role as a gateway to Central Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and North Africa.
This geostrategic position has boosted trade relations with Spain. In recent years, Spanish exports of automotive components to Turkey have exceeded €600 million, consolidating the country as one of the main non-EU destinations for the sector.
At the same time, the transformation of international supply chains is encouraging closer, more flexible, and resilient industrial relationships, where suppliers with export expertise and technological capabilities, such as Spanish companies, are gaining prominence.
Spain continues to reinforce its position as one of Europe’s leading automotive component manufacturing hubs.
The sector stands out for its high level of industrial specialization, export capacity, and strong adaptability to the market’s evolving needs. Spanish manufacturers are currently working in areas related to:
In addition, many Spanish companies have international operations and the capability to adapt to the ongoing changes within the automotive industry.

On the other hand, Tecnodiesel Murcia specializes in diesel injection systems and engine solutions, developing components and services both for the aftermarket and for specialized applications. The company stands out for its commitment to technical quality and continuous adaptation to the sector’s new demands.
The participation of both companies reflects the diversity and specialization of the Spanish automotive supplier ecosystem.
