With the active support of local enterprises and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), the Hong Kong Automotive Industry Group (HKAIG) was established on 5 July 1996. In order to better promote the development and enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong's auto parts industry, the HKAIG is registered to become a formal industrial association namely “The Hong Kong Auto parts Industry Association (HKAPIA)”.
During the past years’ effort, the HKAPIA successfully assisted many Hong Kong industrialists who are interested in automotive components industry to explore and diversify into the auto-business and to develop a close network and collaboration relationship with Mainland China, overseas automotive industries as well as related organizations. The HKAPIA has now over 170 company members heavily engaged in the high value-added automotive activities including components design, manufacturing and business investment.
Hong Kong Auto Parts Industry Association provides supply of quality, critical and new energy vehicle automotive parts and components.
Many Hong Kong industrialists have been engaged in the auto parts business for decades. Several of them are tier-1 or tier-2 suppliers to leading automotive makers in the US, Europe and Japan.
Hong Kong manufacturers of automotive devices, parts and components are capable of offering more cost-effective solutions and a wider and more comprehensive range of products towards foreign automotive and 1st tier part assembly companies.
Compared with their Mainland counterparts, HKSMEs can offer much higher quality, innovative and stable critical parts that strongly concern foreign new energy vehicles and renowned traditional vehicle makers that place importance on the vehicle.
Hong Kong companies are used to the Western culture in the protection of intellectual rights and are ranked 12th globally on the criterion of “intellectual property rights” (2023 World Competitiveness Yearbook). Hong Kong automotive parts industries are equipped with cutting-edge technology and advanced production facilities, and also possess good technical capabilities, and internationally recognized quality management systems.
