Classic vehicles represent more than engineering excellence – they are an important part of automotive heritage. Preserving their condition and value requires reliable long-term protection, especially against corrosion.

At Retro Classics 2026 in Stuttgart, one of Europe’s leading trade fairs dedicated to classic automotive culture, Tectyl corrosion protection solutions were proudly presented by our long-standing partner Costenoble. The exhibition took place from 19 to 22 February 2026 at the Stuttgart exhibition centre and once again brought together collectors, restoration specialists, dealers and enthusiasts from across the international classic car community.

Throughout the four days of the event, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the proven Tectyl corrosion protection portfolio and its role in the restoration, maintenance and long-term preservation of classic and modern classic vehicles. Discussions with industry professionals highlighted the continued importance of effective corrosion protection in safeguarding vehicles that often represent decades of automotive history.

The exhibition also provided an excellent platform to exchange insights with restoration experts and collectors about practical challenges in protecting vehicles exposed to aging, moisture and environmental factors. These conversations confirmed the strong and ongoing demand for reliable, sustainable corrosion protection solutions that support both restoration projects and long-term value preservation.

We would like to thank everyone who visited the stand and shared their experience and perspectives with our team and partner Costenoble.

With more than 90 years of expertise, Tectyl continues to stand for trusted corrosion protection solutions and deep technical knowledge in preserving vehicles for future generations.
