AICA - Italian Garage Equipment Manufacturers Association plays a leading and coordinating role among its member companies, which account for more than 80 per cent of the total turnover and total number of employees in the sector. AICA's mission is to interpret the needs of its members, accommodating the different aspects present in a very diversified industrial landscape, in which SME companies operate alongside well-structured groups that have already set up commercial and production activities in the most strategically important countries.
Our goals
AICA was founded on 9 July 1976 to represent economic operators who, at various business levels, carry out their activities in the field of the production of installations and equipment for the servicing, maintenance, repair and reconditioning of means of transport. Among the purposes of our statute:
- Bring together the manufacturers of machinery, systems and equipment for car workshops, body shops, car electricians, tyre specialists, technical inspection centres, engine reconditioners, service stations and vehicle service centres into a single body.
- Represent its Members for the recognition and exploitation of their professional activities, both towards public authorities and private Italian and foreign companies and organisations.
- Develop contacts to enhance and extend collaborative relationships with fellow associations, bodies and other organisations, with the aim of fostering all relevant initiatives for the strengthening of the sector, also in terms of public relations.
- Produce technical studies and market surveys to support the activities of member companies, both nationally and internationally.
