The NARSA Mobile Heat Transfer/Heating/Air Conditioning Pavilion at AAPEX 2018 will feature a global marketplace for service replacement parts and everything related to heat exchange, including finished products, manufacturing machinery, materials and supplies. AAPEX represents the $740 billion global automotive aftermarket industry and will take place Tuesday, Oct. 30 through Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.
“The Pavilion, Tuesday’s Customer Appreciation Night, and the Thursday AAPEXedu session on Heat Exchange Fundamentals and Market Trends will provide buyers and sellers of cooling system and a/c products with three great ways to connect to the market,” said Wayne Juchno, NARSA Executive Director.
This global showcase will provide a target-rich environment for suppliers and buyers alike. In addition to products for high-volume automotive and light truck applications, buyers also will find sources for custom-engineered, hard-to-find, and specialty items.
