Industry Support for the 2024 SEMA Show reaches Five-Year High

More than 2,400 brands will showcase the future of the aftermarket at this year’s event

DIAMOND BAR, CA – June 12, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) is preparing for a momentous event this year. More than 2,400 brands will exhibit at the 2024 SEMA Show, including hundreds of new companies revealing their products and services.

“The industry continues to innovate, creating new solutions to shape the future of automotive. In turn this has fueled demand and increased sales, and the tremendous support for this year’s SEMA Show is a reflection of the growth and energy of the marketplace,” said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. “The industry is eager to come together, conduct business, and make connections that will result in future success.”

Among the more than 2,400 companies exhibiting at the Nov. 5-8 event in Las Vegas are iconic brands such as Flaming River, Katzkin, Kia, McLeod, Mopar/Stellantis, Snap-on, and Truck Hero.

“There are many line items in Katzkin’s marketing expenses, and nothing comes close to the investment we make in attending the SEMA Show every year, but in our experience, the returns far exceed the investment,” said Katzkin Creative Director Miles Hubbard. “SEMA provides a venue unlike any other where we can launch new products, demonstrate our existing capabilities, speak face-to-face with thousands of people who work in our industry exclusively, and just show off.”

Automaker Kia is returning to the SEMA Show after a brief hiatus. “Kia has been a fan of SEMA and the larger tuner community for many years,” said Kia Vice President of Marketing Russell Wager. “This event has provided the backdrop for many of our most iconic vehicle programs, including concept versions of Stinger, Forte, and Soul. We look forward to shaking things up and sharing ‘electrifying’ news once again in 2024.”

Simple Green, a global market leader in environmentally safer cleaning products, is among the hundreds of first-time exhibitors at this year’s SEMA Show. “SEMA show attendees represent the full spectrum of auto professionals – you’ll find media, manufacturers, buyers, retailers, exhibitors, detailers, fabricators, and more. This mix of tradition and experience, coupled with youthful enthusiasm and innovation, makes the SEMA show such an attractive place for brands like Simple Green,” said Simple Green Content Marketing Manager Selena Nutter….
