Melett Ltd has completed a successful showing at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) 2026, held January 19–22 in Grapevine, Texas, marking an important moment for the brand as part of the wider BMTS Technology group. 

Across the four-day event, Melett welcomed turbocharger repair specialists, distributors and industry partners onto Booth 340, with discussions centred on turbocharger repair quality, product consistency and the growing demand for OE-level performance in the heavy-duty aftermarket.

Representing Melett at the show were Group Sales Director Darren Johnson and Group Product Manager Tom Wright, who were joined by colleagues from BMTS Technology Tony Nardone, President Aftermarket & Regional Leader – Americas and Volker Ott, Head of Sales EMEA and Americas Aftermarket . The team met with existing customers and new contacts throughout the week to discuss product developments, application coverage and partnership opportunities across North America.

Visitors to the stand explored Melett’s latest range of precision-engineered turbocharger components, including expanded coverage for repair options for heavy-duty Cummins platforms, alongside the company’s established portfolio of core assemblies (CHRAs), repair kits and major components . Melett also reinforced the benefits of its VSR-balanced CHRAs, enabling workshops to achieve OE-level results without the need for investment in balancing equipment and significant labour savings.

Darren Johnson commented: “HDAW continues to be one of the most important events in the heavy-duty aftermarket calendar. It’s a valuable opportunity to spend time face-to-face with customers and partners, strengthening relationships, sharing product knowledge and reinforcing Melett’s commitment to precision, quality and dependable repair solutions.”

With its reputation for technical expertise and strong customer support, Melett’s presence at HDAW 2026 underlined its ongoing commitment to supporting heavy-duty professionals with trusted products and reliable supply.

This milestone event marks a further deepening of BMTS Technology’s strategic presence in the global turbocharger industry.

Melett, a leading global supplier of precision-engineered turbocharger parts and repair kits, will be exhibiting at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) 2026, taking place from January 19–22, 2026, in Grapevine, Texas. 

Representing Melett at the event will be Group Sales Director Darren Johnson and Group Product Manager Tom Wright, who will be on hand throughout the show to meet with existing and prospective customers, discuss product innovations, and explore new partnership opportunities across the heavy-duty sector. 

Visitors to Booth 340 will have the opportunity to learn more about Melett’s latest range of high-quality turbocharger components, developed to meet the needs of the global aftermarket. 

Melett North America has concluded a highly successful AAPEX 2025, where the team returned to the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas to showcase its latest OE-quality turbocharger spares, components and complete units to the North American aftermarket.

Located on Level 2 at Booth A4473, Melett welcomed a steady stream of turbocharger repair specialists, distributors and industry partners across the three-day event. Visitors were able to explore the brand’s expanding product portfolio, including the new twin turbos for the Ford F-150 and a range of components suitable for Cummins X15 applications. These additions drew significant interest from workshops servicing both light vehicle and heavy-duty applications.

The Melett team also demonstrated its trusted line-up of core assemblies (CHRAs), turbochargers, repair kits and electronic actuators. As always, every Melett CHRA is VSR balanced, enabling technicians to deliver OE-level performance without the need for additional balancing equipment, an advantage that continues to resonate strongly with the professional repair market.

One of the standout moments from this year’s event was Melett’s involvement in Green Shoe Day, a remanufacturing awareness initiative supported by MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. Delegates from Melett joined industry peers in wearing green shoes to help spotlight the environmental and economic value of remanufacturing. The initiative sparked important conversations at the booth about sustainability, component life cycle and the role precision-built turbocharger parts play in reducing waste across the aftermarket.

Reflecting on the event, Nick Hepworth, Product Lead at Melett, commented: “AAPEX 2025 was another fantastic opportunity to connect directly with turbocharger repair specialists. We were able to introduce important new additions to our range and demonstrate the engineering standards behind every Melett component. Our team also proudly supported Green Shoe Day, as remanufacturing is core to our industry and aligns strongly with the values we promote through our OE-quality products.”

Melett North America would like to thank all visitors, customers and partners who took time to engage with the team throughout the show.
