Automechanika Dubai Exhibition
Lumag will showcase its commercial vehicle product portfolio and testing technologies at Automechanika Dubai 2025, the largest aftermarket trade fair in the Middle East and Africa region. The event runs December 9-11 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, where the company will occupy stand E22 in hall 4.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Position

Lumag’s production base in Poland enables short and stable supply chains while meeting European Union safety and quality standards.
The company continues investing in friction technologies, manufacturing processes, and research infrastructure. Testing capabilities include:
- Horiba and Tecsa test stands for measuring friction, wear, acoustic, and vibration parameters
- Full laboratory testing aligned with OE procedures
- Extensive road trials for real-world validation
- Production batch verification according to OE manufacturer procedures
All products meet ECE R90 requirements and feature Lumag’s Green Coat technology for effective braking performance during initial bedding-in.
