Poing. Germany. On March 7 and 8, 2026, the LKQ STAHLGRUBER performance exhibition in Munich-Riem broke with old trade fair conventions and demonstrated how the future of the automotive industry can be shaped. Under the main theme „Experience what is possible!“ LKQ STAHLGRUBER presented a rethought concept together with 160 exhibitors. The exhibition itself became an important source of inspiration and a meeting place for the entire industry.

The focus of the event was on processes and services that specifically save time in everyday workshop life and facilitate decisions at the right time in the right place. Oliver Franik (Chief Commercial Officer LKQ DACH) and Steffen Hardt (Division Director LKQ STAHLGRUBER) welcomed the professional audience to an event that focused on core values of pace, clarity and reliability.

Oliver Franik's record is positive: „With the motto 'Experience what is possible!'’ We have shown how modern processes and services significantly reduce the burden on everyday workshop life. The excellent response shows that pace, clarity and reliability are exactly the values our partners are betting on today and in the future.“

Innovations and practical solutions to touch 

The more than 160 exhibitors offered comprehensive insights into the industry of tomorrow in various thematic worlds. The spectrum ranged from digital solutions and modern workshop concepts to workshop equipment of the future. Digital tools merged directly with elements of the classic workbench to make technological progress tangible. A diverse stage program with specialist lectures and panel discussions also provided space for information and professional exchange.

In addition to the technical focus, the performance show also featured a diverse entertainment program. Highlights such as the wheel change challenge with a screwdriver blog, a women's area with workshops and specialist lectures, including on finance, and a children's area made the fair an experience for the whole family.
