REFA Chemical Industry at ACMA Automechanika 2026
India’s Premier Automotive Components Exhibition – Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi
Event Overview
Exhibition: ACMA Automechanika India 2026 Venue: Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, Dwarka, New Delhi Organiser: Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) in partnership with Messe Frankfurt
ACMA Automechanika India is the country’s most significant platform for the automotive components and ancillaries industry — bringing together OEMs, Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, technology providers, and industrial chemical manufacturers under one roof. For auto component manufacturers across India, it is where supply chain relationships are built, technical challenges are discussed, and new solutions are evaluated.
For REFA Chemical Industry, participating in ACMA Automechanika 2026 was a strategic milestone — our first major national exhibition appearance as we expand our presence across India’s automotive supply chain.
REFA at the Exhibition
REFA Chemical Industry exhibited at ACMA Automechanika 2026, showcasing our complete range of precision cleaning, degreasing, rust prevention, and surface treatment chemicals developed specifically for auto component manufacturers.
Our exhibition booth brought together the full breadth of REFA’s product capability — from pre-phosphating alkaline degreasers and inter-process rust preventives to plastic bin cleaners, machine surface cleaners, and industrial epoxy floor cleaners — all developed with a deep understanding of the specific contamination challenges, OEM quality standards, and process requirements of Indian auto component manufacturing.
The exhibition provided a valuable platform to connect directly with quality managers, purchase managers, plant engineers, and technical heads from some of India’s most respected automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers.
Products Showcased
At our exhibition stand, we demonstrated and discussed our core product range for the auto components sector:
Metal Cleaning & Degreasing Our alkaline degreaser range for mild steel, cast iron, aluminium alloys, ADC 12, stainless steel, brass, and copper — covering every metal substrate in auto component manufacturing. Formulations for spray washers, immersion tanks, ultrasonic cleaning machines, and pressure jet applications.
Rust Removal & De-Rusting REFA de-rusting solutions for removing flash rust, inter-process rust, and heat treatment scale from machined and forged auto components — available in HCl-based, phosphoric acid-based, and chelate-based formulations for different component types and downstream process requirements.
Rust Preventive Oils & Inter-Process Rust Protection REFA RPO range — light, medium, and heavy grade rust preventive oils for inter-process storage, finished goods storage, and export transit. Water-based rust inhibitors and inter-process rinse aids for phosphating-compatible flash rust prevention.
Pre-Treatment Chemicals Complete pre-phosphating and pre-painting surface preparation chemistry — iron and zinc phosphating chemicals, passivation treatments, and DM water rinse aids for OEM-compliant paint shop pre-treatment lines.
Plastic Bin Cleaners REFA plastic bin cleaner for polypropylene and HDPE parts handling bins — preventing contamination transfer from bins to cleaned auto components.
Machine Surface Cleaners REFA machine surface cleaner for CNC machining centres, VMCs, and transfer lines — removing coolant film, metal fines, and oil residue from fixture datum faces, machine surfaces, and chip conveyors.
Industrial Epoxy Floor Cleaners REFA industrial epoxy floor cleaner for auto component plant floors — removing cutting oil, coolant, and metal fines from epoxy and concrete factory floors safely.
Industry Interactions at the Exhibition
ACMA Automechanika 2026 gave REFA the opportunity to engage directly with representatives from some of India’s most prominent automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers. Our team met and held discussions with representatives from:
Hero Group One of India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturers and a major driver of auto component quality standards across their supply chain. Discussions centred on cleaning and surface treatment requirements across the Hero supplier ecosystem.
Banco Products A leading manufacturer of gaskets, radiators, and engine cooling components — operating across multiple auto OEM supply chains. Engagement focused on metal cleaning and pre-treatment chemistry for their manufacturing operations.
Sona Comstar A globally recognised manufacturer of differential assemblies, motor control systems, and precision engineered components for electric and hybrid vehicles. Discussions covered precision cleaning requirements for EV components and high-tolerance machined parts.
Bosch India A global Tier-1 supplier with significant manufacturing operations in India — producing fuel injection systems, automotive electronics, and braking systems. Engagement with Bosch representatives highlighted the high cleanliness standards required in their supplier base and the role of precision chemistry in meeting them.
Maan Aluminium A specialist aluminium extrusion and die casting manufacturer supplying automotive structural and functional components. Discussions focused on aluminium-specific degreasing and ADC 12 die cast component cleaning — a core strength of REFA’s product range.
And Many More Beyond these key interactions, our team engaged with representatives from numerous auto component manufacturers, Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, machine tool companies, and surface treatment specialists across the two days of the exhibition.
Key Takeaways from ACMA Automechanika 2026
The exhibition confirmed several important trends in the Indian auto component manufacturing sector that directly validate REFA’s product strategy:
1. Precision Cleaning Is a Growing Priority As OEM quality standards tighten — particularly for EV components, electronic systems, and safety-critical assemblies — the demand for technically validated, process-specific cleaning chemistry is increasing. Generic, one-size-fits-all cleaners are no longer sufficient for manufacturers supplying to top-tier OEMs.
2. Aluminium and Mixed-Metal Manufacturing Is Expanding The shift toward EV platforms is accelerating the use of aluminium across the auto component supply chain — aluminium housings, battery trays, heat sinks, and structural members are replacing steel in many applications. This creates growing demand for aluminium-safe cleaning chemistry, which is a core capability of REFA.
3. Rust Prevention Remains a Critical Challenge Inter-process rust — the surface oxidation that develops between manufacturing operations — continues to be one of the most costly quality problems for auto component manufacturers. Multiple conversations at the exhibition confirmed this as a priority challenge, validating REFA’s extensive rust preventive range.
4. Suppliers Are Looking for Technical Partners The most productive conversations at the exhibition were with quality and engineering teams who were looking for more than a chemical supplier — they were looking for a technical partner who could help diagnose process problems, recommend the right chemistry, and support implementation. This is exactly the role REFA’s founder expertise and technical support model is designed to fill.
