Hamburg, 06 October 2015. At the Equip Auto to be held in Paris October 13th to 17th 2015, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG will be demonstrating the extensive expertise of a manufacturer running its own production sites. At the company's exhibition space M 062 located in Hall 6 an exciting range of new products from the MEYLE and MEYLE-HD brands will be on display for automotive repair and sales professionals to discover.

The most prominent eye catcher during this year's appearance will be a vehicle jacked on a lifting platform and packed with MEYLE and MEYLE-HD parts, allowing visitors to visualise MEYLE parts on board. Exhibits cover a wide range of applications and include: a Peugeot 407 axle, Peugeot and Citroën control arms and control arm bushings, MEYLE-HD stabiliser links, oil change kits, MEYLE Platinum Discs and Pads and rear axle journals for French makes.

The design stages required to create technically enhanced MEYLE-HD parts are illustrated in detail using tie rod ends and stabiliser links: High-quality animations guide visitors through the entire engineering process from technical refinement to production and shipment from the company's own manufacturing sites – powerful testimony to the parts' extraordinary load-carrying capabilities and durability. "Because we manufacture these parts we know them inside out every step of the way from engineering and production to installation", says André Sobottka, Member of the Board at Wulf

Gaertner Autoparts. "This allows us to ensure maximum part quality when we are still at the drawing board stage."

Several times a day visitors to the stand will have an opportunity to win fantastic prizes, including a GoPro camera. The MEYLE exhibition stand M 062 is located in Hall 6 on the Equip Auto trade fair grounds at Parc des Expositions.
