The Import Product and Marketing Awards recognizes innovative products and marketing programs designed to serve the import aftermarket.
The program features various categories and is an opportunity for all AAPEX exhibitors to gain visibility and recognition of product and marketing concepts for import nameplate vehicles.
All AAPEX exhibitors are invited to submit their products for consideration in the Import Product and Marketing Awards Program showcases. Entries must be designed to fit import nameplate vehicles or electric vehicles, including parts manufactured both domestically and internationally.
The same product may be entered into multiple categories. Multiple products (from the same company) may be entered into the same category.
Optional:
For three days this fall, AAPEX 2026 returns to Las Vegas, bringing the automotive industry together at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum where aftermarket challenges meet solutions.
Commercial success and widely distributed; should mark high in all these areas:
Automotive products are sometimes prone to premature failure. Solutions to those failures can be found in products manufactured or remanufactured by the auto care industry.
Category can include online training and training videos.
