Entries are now being accepted for the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) Product and New Packaging Showcases, a popular AAPEX feature for the more than 39,500 targeted buyers who attend the event. The 2013 AAPEX is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5 through Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
Product Showcase entries are due Monday, July 29, to be included in the official AAPEX Product Extra, a publication that reaches buyers two weeks before AAPEX. Pre-registered AAPEX buyers will select this year’s Product Showcase winners by voting on their favorite entries in an electronic version of the AAPEX Product Extra.
Products can be submitted in 13 categories: accessories, automotive lighting, business tools, chemicals, lubricants and filters, electrical, general merchandise, hard parts, innovation, mobile electronics, paint, body and equipment, safety, tires and wheels, and tool and equipment. Entries received after July 29 will be accepted, but will only be included in the onsite product showcase.
