After the largest regional automotive aftermarket fair Tokić and Bartog EXPO ‘Tools of the Future’ 2024 concluded last Saturday, which gathered more than 6,000 professionals related to the automotive industry, we were interested in the feedback. From the Tokić Group, one of the organizers of the fair, as an illustration of success, they told us that it ended with the conclusion of ‘many that a new Zagreb auto show for professionals has been born’.

The fair was organized on 6,500 square meters for all services and mechanics in Croatia and Slovenia, more than 120 of them, among which are even 90 leading brands of the automotive aftermarket. Almost all service providers in Croatia and Slovenia got acquainted with the latest assortment and heard the latest experiences directly from suppliers.

‘Through the international business fair, we wanted to show partners and customers how we live our fundamental values. I believe we have proven that the Tokić Group is a key link in the transfer of knowledge, technology, and the preservation of the vehicle fleet,’ said Ilija Tokić, owner of the Tokić Group.

In that company, they emphasize that the fair once again revealed the importance of the Tokić Group for the preservation of national transport and the correctness of the vehicle fleet. Namely, they explain, it offered answers to the challenges that come with the electrification of the vehicle fleet and automation, both of driving and business, which could be seen at the TEC educational center booth, and then in the ACC service network space under Tokić’s umbrella.

‘This regional fair is a mirror of what we live throughout the year, through our network of 130 branches in Croatia and Slovenia. New technologies and trends wait for no one, but require strong and stable partners to carry the transition to the end user. We need to integrate technology into society with education and added value. That is our responsibility, and we demonstrated it at the fair,’ said Ivan Šantorić, CEO of the Tokić Group.

The fair was, they emphasized, opened with donations to the educational system of Croatia and Slovenia, and visitors had the opportunity to win prizes worth more than 20,000 euros in a raffle. In addition, they could get acquainted with the entire assortment of the Tokić Group, which has a total of over 300,000 items. Along with the assortment of auto parts, tools, and service equipment, available through 130 Tokić and Bartog branches, as well as in the online store, the fair showcased the widest range of tires for all types of vehicles, as well as a complete assortment of commercial, industrial, and agricultural programs.

The Tokić Group, through the fair presentation ‘Tools of the Future’, continues with the continuous growth and development of business by creating added value and investing in its employees. This is also reflected in the engagement in organizing competitions for young vocational schools in Croatia and Slovenia, as well as through sponsorship of young athletes and humanitarian initiatives.

After being opened with an exclusive gala dinner for global suppliers, EXPO ‘Tools Of The Future’ concluded with a joint party of several thousand service providers and suppliers present, along with employees of Tokić and Bartog.
