The Welte Group continues to expand its activities in South America: At Automechanika Buenos Aires, the company presented its driveshaft brand EDS – ALL DRIVESHAFT to an international expert audience and established important contacts in the regional aftermarket.

A Key Industry Meeting Point for the Aftermarket

With over 27,000 trade visitors and more than 650 brands represented from numerous countries, Automechanika Buenos Aires is one of the most important platforms for the automotive aftermarket in South America. As a regionally focused trade fair, it offers access in particular to local market participants and decision-makers within the industry.

The Welte Group used the event to present its driveshaft brand EDS – ALL DRIVESHAFT as part of the German joint pavilion. The “German Pavilion,” supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action in cooperation with AUMA, impressed with its professional organization.

For the company, the event provided an ideal platform to further expand its brand presence in the South American market and to establish new contacts in a targeted manner.
