PuntoPRO & TopTruck in Tour 2025

PuntoPRO & TopTruck in Tour 2025 marked a key highlight in GROUPAUTO Italy’s calendar reinforcing its commitment to connecting independent workshops with leading global suppliers across the Italian aftermarket. Now in its third edition, the roadshow built on the success of the past two years, bringing together PuntoPRO and TopTruck network members from north to south — from Milan to Palermo — in a dynamic, experience-driven format.

This year’s tour ran from April through June, with 10 strategic stops across the country. The event once again delivered on its core objective: creating meaningful, local-level engagement between affiliated garages and the world’s leading automotive parts suppliers.

The success of the tour was made possible by the active involvement of supplier partners, who used the platform to share new product innovations and technical insights directly with the workshops. GROUPAUTO Italy extends its sincere thanks to all participating suppliers for their support and collaboration.

To further strengthen ties with the workshop community, the GROUPAUTO-branded van visited several standout garages during the tour,

personally delivering Certificates of Excellence in recognition of their professionalism and dedication.

This year the tour introduced a refreshed format with more engaging, experience-driven venues — including Cantina Ventiventi in Modena and Cantine Santa Benedetta near Rome. These distinctive locations elevated the atmosphere at each stop and highlighted the value of combining technical content with meaningful networking and shared experiences.

Rome was a key stop on the tour, marked by the participation of GROUPAUTO International delegates, who joined the event to exchange best practices and see first-hand how the Italian roadshow model fosters dialogue between workshops and high-value suppliers.

True to its experiential approach, the Turin stage of the tour included a cultural visit and Martini Experience, where participants — both suppliers and workshops — explored brand history and took part in cocktail-making sessions.

In each city, the evening plenary sessions offered strategic content and updates on GROUPAUTO Italy’s core service offerings, including:

ProMEK: the proprietary workshop management software
InOfficina: the digital transformation program
IAS: fleet service solutions
TopTruck services for commercial vehicle repair

Workshops and potential new members gained insights into how these services can help modernize operations and drive business growth in a rapidly evolving aftermarket.

Beyond the roadshow, GROUPAUTO Italy continued to build its visibility and influence across the sector through participation in key industry events. It took part in Car Service Day in Bologna and Autopromotec, one of the industry’s leading international trade fairs, with a dedicated booth presence.

Looking ahead to 2026, preparations are underway for several flagship events — most notably, the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the PuntoPRO network, which is an important milestone for GROUPAUTO Italy.

The PuntoPRO & TopTruck in Tour initiative once again proved its value in uniting the network, fostering innovation, and reinforcing GROUPAUTO Italy’s position as a key contributor to the future of the independent aftermarket.
