Independent and free workshops are essential for a more sustainable, innovative, and competitive automotive sector. Right now, this part of the industry risks being overlooked by lawmakers in Europe. This could have consequences — for both businesses and millions of car owners. “It’s concerning, and we see a real risk that car owners could end up as the biggest losers,” says Petra Bendelin, COO at MEKO.
The share of vehicles owned by companies and organizations is steadily increasing— and is expected to grow significantly across Europe in the coming years. MEKO has, for several years, developed a growing business focused on so-called fleet customers and is now scaling up efforts to meet the rising demand.

With a strong focus on commercial vehicle workshops – MEKO’s most important customer group today – the company is now launching a dedicated division to accelerate growth in a market full of potential. MEKO is taking a major step into the commercial vehicle sector with the launch of a powerful new division. The initiative is led by Nils Hollmann, who brings over 15 years of industry experience.“We’re now increasing our pace in a fragmented market, but one that is also full of opportunity – both for MEKO and everyone who owns, operates, repairs or maintain commercial vehicles,” says Hollmann.
Tires are one of the most critical factors for safety, comfort, and performance in a vehicle. With the right tires, car owners can both improve driving comfort and enhance road safety. Tires are also a strategically important product with significant growth opportunities and potential for upselling. This is why MEKO invests heavily in tires, including a multi-year agreement with Goodyear, one of the world's largest and most renowned tire manufacturers.
Imagine your car breaks down and is brought to the workshop because it won’t start. After initial troubleshooting, technicians discover an issue that can't be solved with a standard diagnostic tool. Instead of towing the car to an original equipment (OE) workshop, the workshop connects to a remote diagnostics service. MEKO’s expert technicians, utilizing OE-level diagnostic tools, resolve the issue remotely, saving time, costs, and eliminating the need for the car to be towed.
During 12 months will 12 employees from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Finland and the Baltics get the chance to be part of shaping the mobility of the future at MEKO, the leading independent aftermarket company in northern Europe.
