Did you know that Poland ranks the seventh-largest exporter of automotive parts in the world?
While trade with European partners remains the key area of transatlantic cooperation, it seems Poland does not get spotlight that it deserves. To put it in figures, only in 2024, the European automotive sector exported around 750,000 vehicles to the USA, with a total value of 39 billion euros. Not many people know that German and French mass car production is heavily reliant on Polish car parts. These make Poland a reliable and valuable import destination, and an interesting alternative to its European and Asian counterparts.
Car Parts, Polish Pride: Success Story made in Poland
What characterizes Polish manufacturing is its close ties with the German automotive sector but also other key European markets. Since the fall of communism in Poland, over the past 35 years, Polish companies and manufacturers have developed a mature production and engineering base. Supplying Western European markets required meeting high quality standards and keeping up with innovation. Poland’s automotive sector is definitely a success story — one of steady growth and of consistently building a solid reputation as a trusted spare parts producer for global distributors.
With the German automotive industry experiencing a noticeable slowdown in recent times, Polish manufacturers show growing interest in building partnerships with American distributors. Poland’s mature production base, combined with still competitive pricing, could offer common ground for businesses from both countries.
For those considering sourcing from Poland, it’s worth visiting the Polish booth at AAPEX in Las Vegas. The national pavilion will feature seven companies. Each of them will have representatives on-site — a great opportunity to talk business face to face during AAPEX.
The Polish national pavilion will be located at Caesars Forum, next to the food court (C84013). It will be prepared and organized by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) – the Polish state institution, which support Polish companies in their international expansion.
