Exclusive motorXfactor Club is back at Automechanika
Automechanika Birmingham 2025 has unveiled its motorXfactor Club offering for this year’s event, providing distributors with unrivalled access to networking among 550 exhibitors and other distributors from 36 countries, plus 150+ hours of seminars.
The exclusive motorXfactor club offers parts distributors the ability to hold meetings and enjoy refreshments as part of the IAAF Right to Repair VIP lounge.
Motor factors will also get the opportunity to use the show app to invite exhibitors and fellow visitors to a meeting, which can also be held within the VIP lounge. motorXfactor guests will also get entry into the Women in Automotive Networking Drinks Reception in the Networking Lounge on Wednesday 4th June.
Following on from its debut in 2023, event organisers Messe Frankfurt UK have once again ensured motor factors and distributors have all their needs covered at the three-day event, taking place from Tuesday 3rd June to Thursday 5th June at the NEC, Birmingham.
Joanne Knowles, Event Director at Messe Frankfurt UK, organisers of Automechanika Birmingham, said: “We’re delighted to build on the success of motorXfactor from its launch two years ago, with an even larger, more tailored club for 2025.
“Working alongside trade federation IAAF, we’re ensuring motor factors are a key part of the event, participating in all networking opportunities and discussions with both their suppliers and customer base of independent garages.”
There’s just under one month to go until Automechanika Birmingham 2025 opens its doors for 2025. Motor factors can expect more than 500 leading exhibitors from over 25 countries including Alliance Automotive Group, Autotech Group, Autel, BM Catalysts, Bosch, Brembo, Castrol and The Race Group, Comma, DEWALT Automotive, Draper Tools, ISN Europe, Launch Tech UK, Liqui Moly, LKQ Euro Car Parts, MAHLE Aftermarket, MANN-FILTER, Niterra UK, PPG, Ring / Osram, Sealey, Snap On, TMD Friction and ZF, all showcasing their latest – and greatest – products, technology and advice.
Craig McCracken, Group Factor Manager at Arnold Clark Autoparts, says attending Automechanika Birmingham can help keep pace with the latest technologies and trends, meet with customers new and old and challenge perceptions of the motor trade for the next generation.
Kevan Wooden CEO LKQ UK and Ireland, commented: “The show is a brilliant platform for collaboration and industry progression. For us, Automechanika Birmingham is more than just an exhibition, it's a strategic opportunity to connect with partners, learn from thought leaders and help to shape the future of the aftermarket.”
David Clarke, Managing Director at Autosupplies Chesterfield, will also be in attendance, said: "Automechanika Birmingham is the most important date in the calendar for motor factors. It’s the only place where you can meet all your key suppliers, see the latest innovations and network with the wider aftermarket all under one roof. The motorXfactor Club is a fantastic idea that gives distributors like us a real base to do business and make the most of our time at the show."
Phil Dodd, Managing Director at Melksham Motor Spares, added: “Automechanika Birmingham brings the aftermarket together like no other event in the UK. As a motor factor, it’s the best opportunity we have to meet face-to-face with suppliers, see what’s coming next and build valuable relationships."
