Teknosa Automotive Spares Distributor is another exciting participant at Automechanika Johannesburg 2024.
Teknosa was established in 2008 with a focus on, inter alia, suspension parts, brake pads, brake discs, brake shoes, and rubber parts.
Teknosa is one of the leaders in South Africa with the biggest range in inner CV (Constant Velocity) and outer CV-joints and the company also imports and exports products to and from Africa and Europe.
It is the second time that Teknosa is participating in Automechanika, the first time being in 2019. Cenk Soysal, the Business Development Manager for Teknosa, explained their expectations for the event, stating that their “expectation is to find new customers”. He added that it is “also to show the quality of our company through our products, and we also want to see other companies checking the products in conjunction with us.”

Teknosa has many surprises for customers who visit their stand. “We have trolley papers. Customers can carry their boxes, the catalogues that they’re getting from the other stands.” In addition, the stand also has a coffee stand where visitors can enjoy a free cup of the “best coffee at the exhibition.”
Unlike many other businesses, Teknosa can count the positives more than negatives that they have faced in 2024. “Compared to 2019, our range has increased by a whopping 40% and that’s whywe have a bigger range to offer our new customers, making us more professional,” said Soysal.
Soysal added: “We’ve been in this business for more than 16 years, and we want to prove to customers that we have that experience.”
Teknosa can state that they have had a positive 2024, and they can most certainly look forward to future opportunities that may arise to further their success.
