In 2025, NAPA will celebrate a century of serving the automotive industry, with the NAPA Expo kicking off the celebrations.

In Las Vegas from 14 to 17 April 2025, the expo will feature a huge range of products, solutions, ADAS, tools and equipment, as well as networking opportunities, seminars and expert speakers.

The event provides an opportunity for attendees to acquire knowledge in attracting and retaining the best technicians in the current skill shortage. Attendees can learn from the NAPA AutoCare network, which includes more than 17,000 workshops across America.

The expo is excellent timing, with insights into the significant technology changes going on across the automotive industry.

It will be the biggest NAPA Expo to date, with more than 15,000 delegates expected to attend and over 300 suppliers showcasing the very best on offer at the trade show. Along with the 100th-anniversary celebrations, attendees will get to see some of the best of NAPA racing up close.

NAPA was established in 1925 in North America, and is now a truly global business operating in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and Australasia.

While NAPA NZ is only three and a half years old, the foundation businesses have more than 250 years of combined experience in the New Zealand market.

“NAPA stands for National Automotive Parts Association – we formed the NZ Auto Parts Association of specialist trade businesses to bring the best offer to the New Zealand trade customer,” says Tony Walker, NAPA general manager, sales and operations.

“It’s not every year you turn 100. Based on previous expos, NAPA knows how to celebrate, so it will be an event not to be missed.”

Ahead of the 2025 expo, NAPA is presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to join NAPA NZ in attending the event. Places are limited. NAPA will be working with attendees to create opportunities to win/earn some or all of the costs of the trip back. There is also potential to extend the trip and add additional experiences.

“Why not plan the trip you’ve always wanted around this event and tick some items off your bucket list while setting your business up for the future.”
