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.

Melett, a globally recognised manufacturer and distributor of precision-engineered turbochargers and parts, has been awarded the HELLA “Sales Star – Turbo Actuators” accolade, recognising the company for achieving the highest global sales of electronic actuators last year.

The award highlights Melett’s leadership in supporting quality turbocharger repairs worldwide and celebrates the impressive growth achieved through its strategic collaboration with HELLA.

Powering Performance Through Precision: The Melett–HELLA Collaboration

The HELLA “Sales Star” award is the latest achievement in a partnership that has set a new benchmark for quality in the turbocharger aftermarket. HELLA, a Tier 1 OE supplier and global leader in electronic turbo actuator technology, has partnered with Melett to deliver OE-standard actuator solutions for turbocharger repair professionals.

Melett is trusted by turbocharger specialists across the globe for its premium-quality turbochargers, core assemblies (CHRA), and turbo parts that meet or exceed OEM standards. Manufactured in ISO/TS16949-certified facilities, Melett components are designed for professionals who refuse to compromise on reliability.

HELLA’s expertise in automotive electronics and mechatronics has resulted in actuators that use advanced CIPOS (Contactless Inductive Position Sensor) technology. This system provides precise, real-time measurement of the actuator’s arm position, critical for adjusting a turbocharger’s variable geometry vanes., HELLA actuators are engineered for exceptional precision, long-term durability, and consistent performance.

Now available through Melett either individually or fitted to Melett turbochargers, HELLA actuators offer turbo repair specialists a complete, OE-quality solution that minimises downtime and maximises customer satisfaction.

Raising Standards Across the Industry

By combining HELLA’s OE-standard actuators with Melett’s trusted turbocharger components, this collaboration tackles one of the aftermarket’s biggest challenges: bridging the gap between mechanical and electronic expertise. The result is a reliable, high-performance solution that allows workshops to deliver superior repairs, reduce warranty claims, and avoid the inefficiency of “parts cannon” diagnostics.

For turbocharger professionals, mechanics, and vehicle owners, the message is clear: quality matters. And with Melett and HELLA, you’re choosing a future built on performance, reliability, and trust.
