Recent years have seen South East Europe experience significant changes.
With a view to the future, the time is now right to bring together Europe’s aftermarket Elite to discuss and exchange
new business models, trends and opportunities that exist in the sector.
The region’s 1st Independent Aftermarket Conference for South East Europe has been jointly organised by some of
Europe’s most significant automotive aftermarket organisations to take place in Belgrade on Thursday 22nd May
2014.
The aim of the conference is to create a platform to provide quality information and sector knowledge on two of the
most important topics for the region:
1. International and national federations as well as trade groups, with the focus on encouraging
national networking and cooperation.
2. Current and future trends in the independent aftermarket, with the objective to enable participants to meet the
challenges in their businesses and prepare for the future.
As the opening speaker for the 1st SEE Independent Aftermarket Conference, Mr.Karsten
Schüßler Bilstein, Managing Director of the bilstein group, view’s the event as a unique
opportunity for the gathering of regional players, associations and federations in the SEE
region.
It should be the goal of all participants to exchange information, consider trends,
debate critical issues and share subjects of mutual interest to create efficiencies, improve
processes, provide new sales opportunities and bring competitive advantages to businesses
in the IAM.
One of the markets leading experts Mr. Hartmut Röhl president of FIGIEFA
(International federation and political representative in Brussels of the independent
automotive aftermarket distributors), will play an active role in the conference sharing
his thoughts with participants and considers this the beginning of a traditional event
for the IAM calendar for South East Europe.
Mr. Röhl believes the conference will stimulate regional players to support and defend
the rights of the IAM and achieve a more stable cooperative environment for future
developments.
