PANAMA CITY, PANAMA - Sunitrac Tire Co., Ltd. concluded a highly successful participation at the 2025 Latin America (Panama) International Auto Parts & Tire Exhibition, held from July 9-11 at the Amador Convention Center. The company reported productive engagements with clients from across Latin America and promising discussions on its comprehensive tire portfolio during the three-day event.
Panama Tire Exhibition
The 2025 Panama International Tire Exhibition, recognized as the only professional tire event in the Caribbean region, served as an ideal platform for Sunitrac Tire to strengthen its presence in Latin American markets. The company's representatives met with business partners from numerous Latin American countries, discussing various tire categories including TBR (Truck and Bus Radial), PC (Passenger Car), and OTR (Off-the-Road) tires.
Expanding Market Presence
"Our participation in this prestigious exhibition has yielded significant opportunities for growth throughout Latin America," said a senior Sunitrac Tire representative. "The face-to-face interactions with our existing and potential clients have been invaluable for understanding regional market needs and strengthening our distribution networks."
The exhibition, which featured over 580 exhibitors and attracted nearly 20,000 professional buyers in its previous edition, provided an excellent environment for business-to-business engagement. Sunitrac Tire's booth saw a steady flow of visitors from Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, and other Latin American and Caribbean nations.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
During the exhibition, Sunitrac Tire highlighted its diverse range of tire products:
TBR Tires: Designed for commercial vehicles with enhanced durability and performance for long-distance and heavy-load transport
PCR Tires: catering to passenger vehicles with focus on comfort, low noise, and improved fuel efficiency
OTR Tires: Engineered for off-road applications including agricultural and construction vehicles with deep tread patterns for challenging terrain
"The Panama exhibition has been particularly successful for our TBR and OTR product lines, which address specific needs in the developing Latin American infrastructure and transportation sectors," the company representative added.
A highlight of the exhibition was the strategic meetings held with Sunitrac's agents and distributors of the SUINTRAC brand in the region and other countries. These meetings were crucial for coordinating market strategies, discussing sales targets, and strengthening the partnership that is vital for mutual growth. The positive feedback and reaffirmed commitment from the partners fully demonstrated their strong confidence in the Sunitrac brand.
Building on the momentum generated at the Expo, the Sunitrac commercial team embarked on an extensive post-show business tour across several key Latin American countries. The team conducted in-depth visits to major clients in countries including Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Chile. These visits provided an invaluable opportunity to understand local market dynamics on a deeper level, address specific client requirements, and solidify plans for expanded distribution and collaborative marketing efforts.
Strategic Location for Regional Expansion
Panama's strategic position as a gateway to Latin America made the exhibition particularly valuable for Sunitrac Tire's expansion plans. With Panama serving as China's second-largest export market in Latin America and bilateral trade between China and Panama exceeding $15 billion, the location offers significant advantages for Chinese companies seeking to enter Latin American markets.
Additionally, Panama's free trade agreements with 22 countries provide tariff advantages of up to 80% for exports to Europe and the United States, making it an attractive hub for distribution throughout the Americas.
Future Outlook
Building on the momentum from the Panama exhibition, Sunitrac Tire plans to expand its distribution networks across key Latin American markets. The company is positioned to capitalize on the growing Latin American and Caribbean automotive tire market, which Allied Market Research projects will reach $4.53 billion by 2027, representing a compound annual growth rate of 3.3%.
"The connections we've established and strengthened here in Panama will form the foundation of our Latin American growth strategy for the coming years," the Sunitrac Tire representative concluded. "We return to China with firm commitments and a clear roadmap for expanding our presence throughout this important region."
The successful participation at the 2025 Panama International Tire Exhibition marks another milestone in Sunitrac Tire's international expansion strategy, demonstrating the company's commitment to serving global markets with quality tire products tailored to regional needs.
