The Eurotaller Argentina network continues to grow, strengthening its bonds and expanding its reach. It takes pride in sharing valuable experiences among its members, fostering innovation, creating new business opportunities, and enhancing both business and personal relationships within the network.
This year has been particularly significant, featuring events that brought together members, suppliers, and strategic partners. These gatherings emphasized collaboration and teamwork, offering not only technical and commercial training but also education in essential areas such as the Eurotaller Experience and digital marketing.
A standout event was the participation of over 70 members at the first GROUPAUTO Pan-American Congress during Automechanika Argentina. This prestigious event brought together executives from GROUPAUTO International, distributors from countries including Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, and Venezuela, as well as strategic suppliers. Garage owners from Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Central America participated in exclusive sessions with key sponsors like Wolf Oil and Schaeffler, alongside major suppliers such as ZF. These sessions helped members gain a deeper understanding of their role within the GROUPAUTO community and provided insights into the latest market trends.
A highlight during the Congress was the announcement of the TOP TRUCK network, a new project slated to launch in Argentina and Bolivia by the end of the year. This initiative aims to establish Eurotaller as a leader in the heavy-duty sector across the region. Automechanika Argentina also provided valuable opportunities for direct interaction with certified suppliers. Members visited booths from brands like Kessel and ZF (Sachs, TRW, Hella) and took part in meetings where new product launches, innovations, and current market realities were discussed. Group dinners further reinforced the sense of community and belonging, fostering stronger relationships among network members.
Another one of the most appreciated events was the training session and visit to the SKF plant in Tortuguitas. Mechanics from the network observed firsthand the manufacturing and quality control processes. The day began with a warm welcome from the SKF team and Philipp Herlein, head of the global vehicle aftermarket division, followed by a tour of each stage of the manufacturing process. The visit concluded with a shared lunch and insightful discussions, reinforcing the importance of continuous training and support from leading brands—key pillars of the Eurotaller network.
