NEXUS Automotive International arrives at Automechanika Frankfurt with strong momentum, following a solid first half of 2026 marked by business growth, network expansion and increased member and supplier engagement.
The company is pleased to announce that its next NEXUS Business Forum will take place in Rome from March 22 to 25, 2027.
The NEXUS network now represents €55 billion in consolidated turnover, 636 members worldwide, and 4,276 wholesale distributors. Eligible purchase volumes in H1 2026 were 32% higher than in the same period in 2025, including 7.9% organic growth on a constant-scope basis.
More than €150 million in annual purchases were converted from non-NEXUS to NEXUS suppliers, reflecting stronger commitment across the network and continued progress in business development.
More than 70 new members and affiliates joined the NEXUS community during H1 2026, across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, North America and Asia.
Major milestones in this period included the appointment of Palle Willumsen as SVP Business Development, the launch of Partivia, NEXUS India and NEXUS Iberia, the N! Business Forum in Lausanne, and the N! Leadership Conference in Napa Valley.
These achievements reinforce NEXUS Automotive International’s ambition to become a best-in-class service provider for its global community, with a continued focus on intermediation, transactional activities, data and innovative investments.
