This joint appearance marks the second time the companies have aligned their brands following their debut at AAPEX 2025. Hankook & Company is emphasizing its premium battery lineup—specifically AGM, EFB, and MF units—designed to meet the rising demand for start-stop and hybrid vehicle support. Since opening a German subsidiary and a Hamburg logistics hub in 2022, the company has focused on stabilizing its regional supply chain to accommodate the aging vehicle parc.

Hanon Systems is leveraging its "Driven by OE Expertise" initiative to introduce thermal management solutions directly to European partners. With Europe accounting for over 35 percent of the firm’s global revenue, the region remains its most significant market. By aligning their aftermarket operations, the two companies aim to build internal synergies, combining their established distribution networks to capture a larger share of the European parts sector.
