Strong start for Lebanon's 1st automotive aftermarket trade show: AUTOPARTS EXPO 2025 opens to full house
Beirut witnessed a dynamic and promising launch of the first edition of AUTOPARTS EXPO, Lebanon’s first dedicated trade exhibition for the automotive aftermarket and vehicle services industry.
Held at the Mövenpick Hotel in Beirut, the event opened its doors on Tuesday, June 3, to an impressive turnout of professionals, technicians, importers, distributors, and decision-makers from across the country.
From early afternoon until late evening, the exhibition halls buzzed with energy, conversations, and active networking. Attendees explored a wide array of local and regional exhibitors showcasing spare parts, lubricants, batteries, diagnostic tools, maintenance technologies, and vehicle service solutions. The diversity of the exhibiting companies, from well-established Lebanese suppliers to international brand representatives, offered visitors a comprehensive view of the current market and future trends.
The opening ceremony was held under the patronage of the Ministry of Economy and Trade, with Dr. Mohammad Abou Haidar, Director General of the Ministry, delivering a keynote speech. He highlighted the importance of such sector-specific initiatives in supporting economic resilience and driving private sector growth. He emphasized that specialized exhibitions like AUTOPARTS EXPO serve as powerful tools to create linkages between businesses, encourage trade partnerships, and reassert Beirut’s role as a regional hub for commerce and expertise.
Mr. Farhat Farhat, representing the organizing company BEIRUT EXPO, shared insights into the vision behind launching the show. "After our success with the Middle East Clean Energy exhibition, we recognized the need for a strong professional platform for the automotive sector, especially the aftermarket, which plays a critical role in daily life, employment, and regional trade," he said. “Lebanon’s position as a connector between Arab and African markets gives us a competitive edge.”
The first day also featured the opening session of the conference, bringing together experts to discuss opportunities and challenges in the sector, further enriching the event with knowledge-sharing and strategic dialogue.
As AUTOPARTS EXPO enters its second and third days on Wednesday, June 4, and Thursday, June 5—the momentum is only growing. The exhibition continues to be a must-visit for industry professionals, garage owners, fleet managers, automotive engineers, and anyone seeking new business opportunities, partnerships, or insights into the automotive aftermarket.
With free public entry, the exhibition is open from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Mövenpick Hotel, Beirut (Raouché). Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity to meet suppliers, explore new products, and network with fellow professionals in a business-friendly setting.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this landmark event and witness the rebirth of Beirut as a center for sector-specific trade shows in the region. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge solutions, new suppliers, or industry connections, AUTOPARTS EXPO is where the automotive aftermarket meets in Lebanon.
