Equip Auto Paris To Celebrate 50th Anniversary In Style

More than 1,400 brands spread across 100,000 square metres of exhibition space are expected to appear at the 50th anniversary edition of Equip Auto Paris, to be held at Paris Porte de Versailles from 14 to 18 October 2025.

With eight months to go before opening day, 75 per cent of exhibition space is already booked by companies covering the entirety of the industry’s product and service offering. Many are longstanding exhibitors, while others are new market entrants that are paving their way in the rapidly evolving automotive aftermarket industry.

Leading companies within the body repair sector include 3M, Anest Iwata, Axial, Europa, GYS, Henkel Technologies France, Norton Abrasives (Saint-Gobain), PPG Refinish, and RUPES.

This year, organisers say three emerging sectors will make their debut at the show:

While French businesses will feature heavily, many exhibitors are based outside of France. Companies confirmed to appear hail from Andorra, Belgium, China, Cyprus, Czechia, Egypt, Germany, India, Italy, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and Turkiye, as well as the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.

Equip Auto will also focus on an array of initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the event and promote responsible practices among visitors and exhibitors. These will include:

“We are standing at a critical moment in the mobility sector, where environmental and social challenges define not only the future of our sector but also the way in which we, players in this ecosystem, should position ourselves and act,” said Philippe Baudin, Chairman of the Equip Auto show. “At Equip Auto, we have decided to fully embrace this dynamic. This is why we have decided to take a clear path down the road of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by adopting the European standards for corporate sustainability disclosures.”
