April the 19th, 2024 – EXPO Tools of the Future 2024 has impressed us here in the Croatian capital as the largest regional aftermarket for technicians and mechanics.
As Poslovni Dnevnik/Mladen Miletic writes, Tokić and Bartog EXPO Tools of the Future 2024 is the largest regional automotive aftermarket fair for all services and mechanics in Croatia and Slovenia. It gathered more than 6,000 professionals related to the automotive industry at the Zagreb Fair (Velesajam) recently.
This new Zagreb “car show for professionals” is quite a unique event held on more than 6,500 square metres of exhibition space. It brought together more than 120 exhibitors, including as many as 90 leading brands from within the automotive aftermarket.

Servicemen and mechanics from across Croatia and Slovenia had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new product range and hear experiences directly from suppliers. Visitors also had the chance to win prizes worth more than 20,000 euros in the prize draw.
“Through the international business fair, we wanted to show our partners and customers how we practice our core values. I believe that we’ve proven that the Croatian Tokić Group is a key link in the transfer of knowledge, technology and the preservation of the fleet”, said owner and founder Ilija Tokić.
The fair also offered answers to the challenges related to electrification of the vehicle fleet and automation, both in terms of general driving and when it comes to doing business. This was seen at the stand of the TEC-educational centre, and then also at the area of the ACC-service network, which was under Tokić.
“This regional fair is a mirror of what we do all year, through our network of 130 branches across Croatia and Slovenia. New technologies and trends wait for no man, and they require solid and stable partners who will bring the transition to the end user. We need to integrate technology into society with education and added value. This is our responsibility and we showcased precisely that at this fair,” said Ivan Šantorić, president of the board of the Tokić Group.
The Croatian Tokić Group’s assortment included a total of more than 300,000 items, available through 130 Tokić and Bartog branches, as well as in the online store. They also showcased their impressively wide range of tyres for all types of vehicles, as well as their complete range of economic, industrial and agricultural programmes.
croatian and slovenian vocational schools
Through the EXPO Tools of the Future 2024 fair presentation, the Tokić Group showed their unwavering commitment to continuous growth and business development through creating added value and investing in its employees. This can be seen through the involvement in the organisation of competitions in vocational schools across both Croatia and Slovenia, as well as through the sponsorship of young athletes and various humanitarian initiatives.
After opening with an exclusive gala dinner of global suppliers, Zagreb’s EXPO Tools Of The Future 2024 was concluded with a joint party.
