Messages From PAAPAM

Mr. Usman Malik - Chairman, PAAPAM

With immense pleasure, I once again would like to welcome Pakistan and the international auto industry to the 19th edition of the Pakistan Auto Show 2026. PAAPAM has been striving year after year to attain a high level of expertise and bring to Pakistan and its exhibitors a world-class expo. We have expanded our product profiles and sponsorship opportunities in line with the growing demands of our valuable exhibitors and sponsors, and this year I am more than excited with the offerings that we bring to the show this time around. This PAPS annual event has provided a strong platform for introducing Pakistan’s Automobile Industry to the world. Every year PAPS showcases the engineering achievements of Pakistan’s auto industry and highlights the fact that Pakistan is one of those fortunate countries that has a vibrant automobile manufacturing industry.

I assure you that, given the promising environment, the automobile industry will flourish and contribute to the country’s economic growth and development by creating jobs and raise revenues through increased growth of the industry. PAAPAM is constantly striving to do better, and with your support, feedback and participation, I have no doubt that the Pakistan Auto Show 2026 will be perhaps the biggest expo in Pakistan.

Mr. Shehryar Qadir - Sr. Vice Chairman, PAAPAM

The Pakistan Auto Show 2026 is an ideal platform for local players in the industrial sector to showcase their products and services to larger markets. This will also groom them to market their products and services efficiently and effectively, both in local and international markets. I am really grateful to the Auto Engineering Family to provide me with this opportunity of steering the association as the Vice Chairman. I am happy and pleased to have this opportunity and look forward to the challenges ahead. We are lucky to have very committed Management Committee and Staff. Working together, we will surly achieve success. I personally would like to invite the entire automobile sector to be a part of this show, not only for the development of your business but also for the growth of the auto industry, and prosperity of Pakistan.

I look forward to seeing you at the Pakistan Auto Show 2026.

Mr. Salman Saleem - Convener, PAPS 2026

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Pakistan Locally Manufactured Auto Parts Exhibition, a platform dedicated to showcasing the strength, capability, and growing maturity of Pakistan’s auto parts manufacturing industry.

The core focus of this exhibition is to highlight locally manufactured auto parts that are being supplied to and utilized by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in their vehicles. Pakistan’s auto parts sector has made significant progress in quality, precision, and compliance with international standards, and today many locally produced components are playing a vital role in OEM vehicle production across the country.

This exhibition aims to bridge the gap between local manufacturers, OEMs, vendors, and stakeholders, encouraging greater localization, technology transfer, and sustainable industrial growth. By promoting the use of locally manufactured components, we seek to strengthen the national supply chain, reduce reliance on imports, and contribute meaningfully to Pakistan’s economic development.

Alongside locally manufactured auto parts, the exhibition also features locally assembled vehicles, including models assembled using imported components. Their inclusion provides visitors with a broader understanding of the current automotive landscape while reinforcing the importance and potential of increased localization in the future.

I sincerely hope this exhibition serves as a valuable forum for business networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, and plays a constructive role in advancing Pakistan’s automotive industry.

I warmly welcome all participants, exhibitors, and visitors, and wish everyone a productive and successful exhibition.
