The anniversary CTO Expo will open the exhibition calendar for the automotive service industry in May 2027.

The 5th Anniversary International Trade Fair for Spare Parts, Automotive Aftersales Market and Service CTO Expo 2027 will take place at Crocus Expo IEC from May 25 to 28, 2027.
Over five years, the project has earned the trust of industry professionals and has become the only specialized exhibition dedicated to the maintenance and repair of commercial vehicles. Today, CTO Expo serves as a hub for live interaction and strategic planning for the entire industry.

The Anniversary Season: Steady Stability and Significant Scale
CTO Expo 2027 reaffirms its status as a reliable and effective business platform, maintaining strong performance across all key areas:

• The total exhibition area will exceed 10,000square meters.
• More than 300 key industry players will kick off the business season, opening new opportunities for contract signing and strategic planning.

Among the participants are major industry players such as TD Equinet, SHTURMAN, AVLKRAFT, KOMTRANS, PRAWOLF, PJSC NK ROSNEFT, Phoenix Oil, SORL, GOODKING, Delo Tekhniki, SHACMAN‑RUS, EUROELEMENT, and PAAZ — along with many other leading companies.

• The co‑organiser of the project is traditionally the AUTOCOM Association, which recognized the platform’s strong potential for developing the automotive service industry from the very first year of the exhibition.
• CTO Expo will once again be held in Hall 13, Pavilion 3, directly adjacent to COMvex, the leading exhibition for commercial vehicles. This strategic co‑location has already proven effective: in 2026, it enabled exhibitors to reach the highest concentration of their target audience, from fleet owners to service managers.

Proven commercial effectiveness and the trust of the business community
Year after year, CTO Expo confirms its status as a highly effective B2B tool in its segment, enabling companies to secure orders and strengthen their market position for the year ahead.

According to the 2026 exhibitor survey, 93% of participants were satisfied with their results at the venue, and the same share would recommend the project to their business partners. Meanwhile, 77% of companies confirmed they fully achieved their business goals, while 80% were satisfied with the quality and size of their target audience.
This assessment is underpinned by the record attendance in 2026: the venue welcomed 26,126 professionals from 31 countries and 81 regions of the Russian Federation. Notably, decision‑makers accounted for an impressive 92% of the audience.

For 88% of respondents, participation in CTO Expo provides a competitive edge in the market. Trust in the platform reaches its peak: 98% of CTO Expo 2026 exhibitors expressed their intention to return with their stands in 2027.
The high commercial value of the exhibition for participants in previous seasons has shaped the momentum of the current edition: more than half of the available space is already booked.
Applications for participation can be submitted via the project’s official website.

The scale of the EXPO+ synergy and the premiere event of 2027

CTO Expo will traditionally take place as part of the large‑scale synergy of industry exhibitions within the EXPO+ cluster. This is the largest B2B event in Russia, which in 2027 will bring together six projects from related industries:

• СТО Expo – spare parts, after-sales service, and technical support;
• COMvex – commercial vehicles and technologies;
• CTT Expo – construction equipment and technologies;
• Mining СТТ – the mining industry and specialized equipment;
• Logistika Expo – Logistics, warehouse technologies, and supply chains;
• Instrument Expo– professional tools and equipment (2027 premiere).

Instrument Expo will significantly strengthen the overall business ecosystem by bringing together specialists from service stations, service centers, and enterprises that purchase tools, equipment, tooling, and consumables. For CTO Expo exhibitors, this means additional access to a key target audience — decision‑makers responsible for equipping and developing the service business.

Participation in the anniversary CTO Expo 2027, as part of the expanded EXPO+ synergy, offers companies the fastest route to a large professional audience across related industries and sets the right pace for the start of the spring business season.
