What’s the difference between AAPEX and the SEMA Shows?
The Automotive Aftermarket Product Expo (AAPEX) and the Specialty Equipment Marketers Association Show (SEMA) serve separate but highly compatible markets within the motor vehicle aftermarket. SEMA exhibitors and attendees tend to serve the car enthusiast marketplace, including restorers, hot-rodders and those interested primarily in performance products. AAPEX focuses on the more traditional vehicle repair and maintenance market and features exhibitors who provide hard parts, supplies and services to professional and retail customers.
