12VOLT CENTRAL STUDIOS (04.07.25) – As April rolls there has been an uptick in business activity across the 12volt industry. 12volt distributor dealer shows and events are contributing to driving that uptick activity going forward.


On April 2nd the introduction of very significant new tariffs created a major bump in the road. That new heavy tariff cloud, along with devastative storms across the US, makes it very for difficult people to think about automotive aftermarket upgrades.
That said members of the 12volt industry must work together to drive business forward. The 12volt Central Studios staff, with assistance from proactive 12volt industry members, is working 24/7 to Drive the ROI and visibility for 12volt industry events.


The recent CMA Expo, Man Show Expo in Springfield MO, Shiflet and Dickson Show and MasterTech Expo 2025 events demonstrated the desire of industry members to interact with peers, factory staffs, see new products, engage in product trainings plus consumer events. These industry members are setting plans to drive business going forward. The 12volt Central Studios staff will work 24/7 to Drive ROI on the investment all are making to connect with consumers.


Presently 6 distributor shows are on the 12volt Central Studios calendar for April. The A&W Show is April 9th, N&H Electronics Show is April 12th, Tri-State Enterprises April 12th, Davis Distribution is April 15, D-Source 15 &16 and House Of Electronics is April 20th. A schedule for distributor shows in May is not complete. SSR Distributor is set for May 18th and the PNWCEE event is set for May 19-21.
