How the three days went
The second edition of the Auto Components Show closed at the Chennai Trade Centre on 2 August, and it was a good three days for our India team. We ran Stand B113 as a working bay rather than a display board: the Arrowclean+ was installed on the floor, so visitors could watch the gantry travel, see the brush geometry and follow a full wash sequence for themselves.
South India is where a great deal of the country's vehicle-care investment is being decided right now — dealership workshops, transport depots, new car-wash sites, and the component and service businesses that supply them. That mix walked onto the stand across all three days, and the conversations we valued most were the specific ones: how many vehicles an hour a bay can actually turn over, what a wash costs per vehicle once water and chemical are counted, how much of that water can be put back through the system, and what service cover looks like after commissioning.
Thank you to everyone who stopped at B113 — the operators who arrived with site drawings, the businesses asking about representing KKE in their state, and the organisers for a well-run show. Every enquiry taken at the stand is with our India team; if we spoke in Chennai and you are waiting on a quotation or a site assessment, it is already moving.
On the stand
What we put in front of visitors
Stand B113 was built around the four things buyers in this market ask us about first.
Innovative technology
Advanced wash systems engineered for a consistently superior clean — from semi-automatic bays like the Arrowclean+ through to fully automatic rollover and conveyor lines.
Premium quality
Industrial-grade structures, drives and wash media specified for heavy commercial duty cycles, so a bay stays in daily service instead of becoming a maintenance problem.
Energy efficient
Less connected load, less water and less chemical per vehicle — the running cost that decides whether a wash bay pays for itself.
Water recycling
Closed-loop W100 treatment that recovers up to 90% of wash water and keeps site discharge inside local limits.
Why we exhibit here
South India's own automotive components and vehicle-care show
The Auto Components Show has grown quickly. The organisers report that its 2025 debut drew 265 exhibitors and more than 11,000 trade visitors — which is exactly the audience we want to put a working machine in front of.
