J2R highlights our export performance and the new range of brake calipers for EVs

Published on

The French media outlet J2R (Journal de la Rechange) has published an article on our first participation in Automechanika Frankfurt, which will take place from 8 to 12 September 2026 in hall 5, stand C66. The article focuses on exports as the driver of our growth and on the launch of our first range of brake calipers for electric vehicles.

Growth in international markets

As reported by J2R, in 2025 our international sales grew by 20 % and now account for 60 % of the group's turnover. This trend has continued in 2026, with a 25 % increase in turnover during the first five months of the year compared with the same period in 2025. Our objective is to raise the share of export activity to 70 % before the end of 2027.

France remains our leading export destination, with growth of 6 %. In Europe, Turkey (+64 %) and Italy (+55 %) recorded the largest increases, while Ukraine (+9 %) and Portugal (+10 %) continue to be dynamic markets. In the Maghreb, we are strengthening our presence with growth in Tunisia (+20 %) and Morocco (+10 %).

Brake calipers for electric vehicles

Engine components remain the core of our activity, and we are expanding the catalogue with a new range of brake calipers for electric vehicles, which we are presenting on the occasion of Automechanika Frankfurt.

  • References: 220 references available at the launch of the range.
  • Coverage: more than 90 % of the European market.
  • Applications: several models from the Chinese manufacturers BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda.
  • Supply formats: individual parts or complete kits, to suit the different maintenance operations carried out in the workshop.

Next international steps

Following the signing of a first distribution agreement in Germany, we expect to strengthen our presence in the Nordic countries from 2027 onwards. As Adrián Pérez, export manager at IJS GROUP, points out in the J2R article, we are consolidating and expanding our activity outside the domestic market on the strength of our ability to meet the expectations of the aftermarket sector.

The new range of brake calipers and the rest of our catalogue can be consulted on the B2B platform (b2b.ijsgroup.es), as well as at our stand C66 in hall 5 at Automechanika Frankfurt.
