Korean Auto Parts Exporters Seeking to Boost their Presence in Latin America

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

The 16th edition of Automec 2025 will be taking place between April 22 and 26, 2025, at the São Paulo Expo, Brazil, with the anticipation by Korean automotive parts makers and exporters to promote their competitive products in the region.
Automec is the largest automotive parts fair in Latin America, held every two years. It is an important event where all the major players in the automotive parts industry gather in one place ― including key parts companies, parts wholesalers and retailers, and auto repair centers.

Automec is an event where visitors can see new products from automotive parts companies, as well as the latest machinery, services, and solutions. Many buyers from Brazil’s domestic automotive industry as well as neighboring countries in Latin America visit the exhibition. It is thus considered as an exhibition that is very suitable for Korean companies to develop markets and source business partners in Latin America.
According to the Automec Organizing Committee, Automec is the world’s third-largest automotive parts fair in terms of the number of participants, following the United States and China, and boasts the world’s largest scale in terms of the numbers of visitors.

Automec 2025 is expected to bring together more than 700 foreign companies that operate in the entire chain of auto parts, equipment and services for all types of vehicles.
At the Korean Pavilions, face-to-face consultations between Korea’s participating companies and overseas buyers will be held, and there will be post-event procedures for generating results after the exhibition ends.
In line with the characteristics of the local automobile market, KOTRA plans to hold a Brazilian auto parts investment seminar, and online/offline export consultations, along with the operation of the Korean Pavilions. At the investment seminar, automakers that have entered the Brazilian market and auto parts experts will explain the sustainability of the internal combustion engine parts market and the necessity of local investment.

Automotive Parts

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2502M03] Frontec Co., Ltd. is an automobile-parts manufacturing company that produces high-precision products through a smart one-stop production process based on forging technology accumulated over 40 years.

Weld Nut (Square-type)
Square-type weld nuts are a special type of nut specially designed for welding to other objects. By adopting the rolled tap method, it is possible to build an integrated production line, from material input to forging, tapping, washing, inspection, and-packaging, all in one facility.

Weld Nut (T-type)
The T-type welding nut has a clean surface and less material wastage, as it does not generate chips compared to the cutting-tap method by adopting the rolled tap method. In addition, it has superior welding strength compared to other welding nuts, and is intensively used in areas requiring high strength such as in car body parts.

Flange Nut
A flange nut is a nut with a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated washer. This distributes the pressure of the nut across the part being clamped, thus reducing the risk of damage to the part, and preventing loosening due to uneven mounting surfaces.
