INA PAACE automechanika Mexico Mexico City

INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico is considered the leading trade fair for the automotive industry in Mexico and Latin America. It serves as a key meeting point for professionals seeking innovation, expertise, and new business opportunities. The name of the event unites two strong brands: “INA” (Industria Nacional de Autopartes), the national association of Mexican auto parts suppliers, and “PAACE” (Panamericano Automechanika Expo), part of the internationally renowned Automechanika trade fair series. Together, they form a unique platform for the automotive aftermarket at the heart of Mexico.

Each year, Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City transforms into a vibrant hub for vehicle technology, mobility solutions, and workshop equipment. Organized by Messe Frankfurt Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., the trade show offers direct access to the Mexican market while also serving as a key international networking venue for suppliers, distributors, and industry experts. As part of the global Automechanika portfolio, which originated in Frankfurt am Main, the Mexican edition is synonymous with high-level professional exchange on a global scale.

The event covers the entire automotive value chain—from spare parts and repair technologies to digital solutions, electromobility, and autonomous systems. Exhibitors showcase a wide range of products and services, including diagnostic tools, workshop equipment, accessories, body and paint technologies, as well as cleaning, maintenance, and sustainability solutions. Topics such as recycling, lubricants, and tire technologies are also well represented.

A distinctive feature of the show is its close alignment with the dynamics of the Mexican automotive market—one of the largest in the Americas and a strategic link between North and South America. The exhibition brings together players from manufacturing, trade, and service sectors across passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and electric vehicles, making it a valuable platform for decision-makers and hands-on professionals alike.

A standout element is the International Aftermarket Summit, where industry leaders discuss current trends, challenges, and strategies for the future. The program is further enhanced by dedicated areas such as the Electromobility Area and the Truck Competence Zone, reflecting the event’s high level of specialization.

Visitors primarily come from the automotive trade, workshop and retail sectors, as well as from industry, logistics, and fleet management. They are specifically interested in discovering new technologies, business models, and partnerships.

Anyone looking to understand and shape the automotive aftermarket in Mexico cannot afford to miss INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico. Located in the heart of Mexico City, Centro Citibanamex offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and excellent accessibility—just minutes from the international airport and city center. It is an ideal venue for a trade fair that combines innovation, market insight, and international networking like no other.
