More than 10 auto parts companies from Longquan, a county-level city in Lishui, Zhejiang province, have secured multiple overseas orders and cooperation intentions at the Automechanika Istanbul, one of the world's top four auto parts fairs.

The event brought together 1,500 exhibitors from over 40 countries and 60,000 professional buyers, serving as a key hub for entering European, Asian, and African markets.

Longquan enterprises showcased new products and actively expanded cross-border channels, demonstrating strong competitiveness in the automotive thermal management sector.

Zhejiang Yili Automobile Air Condition, an eighth-time exhibitor, launched new sensors for new-energy vehicles and secured an on-site order for 5,000 units.

A Turkish customer said that Yili's products had been successfully matched with the Mercedes-Benz brand, confirming the international quality of Longquan's auto parts.

Zhejiang Shuolang Motor Parts, attending for the fifth time, not only solidified long-term relationships with overseas clients but also connected with multiple complete-vehicle suppliers and end buyers.

Ye Lei, deputy general manager of the company, said Turkiye's advantageous location enables access to core markets like the Middle East, Europe, and Russia, making it a key pivot for global expansion. The company plans to exhibit in Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia, and Germany.

First-time exhibitor Zhejiang Shanlian Machinery Technology held in-depth talks with three clients and reached preliminary cooperation intentions with over 10 overseas buyers.

Longquan is a major hub for China's automotive thermal management industry, home to a provincial-level testing center with CMA and CNAS accreditations. Test reports issued there are recognized in more than 50 countries, allowing Longquan products to enter international markets directly.
