The SEMA Show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) is one of the biggest trade shows in the entire automotive world. A bucket list destination for some enthusiasts and an annual field trip for those who work in the industry. Whichever angle you approach it from, Las Vegas is the place to be in early November if you want to see automotive greatness. With our crew spread out across the country, and XDP’s west coast location in Las Vegas, SEMA Week is always a good time and a good reason for us to bring our crew together. This year was a big one for XDP as it was the first time we were an exhibitor at the SEMA Show.
The XDP Booth
Right from day one, the booth was buzzing. We got to speak with our customers, dealers, manufacturers, and even fellow enthusiasts just looking to build their truck. From the booth, we handed out thousands of bags, stickers, and lanyards. It was cool to see that stuff floating around all week. In our booth, we were proud to have XDP product on display such as the XDP Xpressor Series Turbos, XTRA Cool Water Pumps, and more! SEMA is always where you show off new products. We were excited to have our new flex plates on display in the booth and at the SEMA new product display section. These flex plates are available in several different series; Stock+, Tow, and Billet Tow and Race. The energy throughout the show was through the roof. Judging by the crowds we saw, SEMA is back to its pre-COVID glory.
Latest & Greatest
While it’s a busy week, we were glad to soak up every moment. XDP staff scoped out the latest and greatest in aftermarket parts both for our customers and ourselves. We also spent time with top manufacturers we partner with, like BD Diesel, Fox, Gen Y, SSBC and many, many more. We got sneak peeks at their latest products and newest applications. Keep an eye on our socials and website for new products and manufacturers.
Trucks New & Old
One of the most notable things you’re going to see at SEMA is always the custom builds. In just trucks alone, we saw countless builds. One of the themes that was exciting was the strong presence of older trucks with several Ford OBS, Dodge Ram 2nd Gen trucks, and many more. We love to see innovation and new ideas, especially on these older trucks.
After a great week in Vegas, we’re back home and ready for the holiday season to kick off. We are also preparing ourselves for the next tradeshow, PRI. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the XDP booth during SEMA, and thanks to everyone on the team at XDP for making this year a success. Be sure to visit us at PRI on December 12th-14th at Booth #3039.
