Authentic Vision and ATQ Germany: Protecting Automotive Aftermarket Products Since 2020.

Counterfeit automotive parts remain a major challenge in international aftermarket distribution — especially in high-risk markets such as North Africa.

Since 2020, ATQ Germany has been using Authentic Vision’s secure authentication technology to protect its products against counterfeiting and strengthen trust across its distribution network.

As counterfeit products increasingly entered important target markets, ATQ Germany was looking for a solution that could reliably protect products directly in the field without adding complexity for distributors or customers.

By implementing Authentic Vision’s mobile authentication solution, ATQ Germany enabled fast and secure product verification via smartphone. The system helps partners and customers instantly confirm product authenticity and identify suspicious products within seconds.

In regions heavily affected by counterfeit products, authentication needs to work quickly and reliably under real market conditions. Authentic Vision’s mobile solution allows distributors and partners to verify products instantly using a smartphone — helping identify suspicious products early and increasing confidence throughout the supply chain.

The continued use of the solution since 2020 demonstrates the value of scalable authentication technologies that integrate seamlessly into day-to-day operations while supporting long-term brand protection.

Over the past five years, the partnership has helped significantly reduce counterfeit-related risks in key markets and establish a reliable authentication process for distributors and end customers alike.

“Automotive consumers rely on reliable OEM automotive parts to ensure the safety and performance of their vehicles. Consumers have come to trust ATQ Germany E.K.’s high-quality automotive parts, and with Authentic Vision’s authentication solution, they can be assured they are getting genuine ATQ Germany E.K. parts.”
