What Is UPN?

The Used Parts Network

The Used Parts Network (UPN) is the heavy construction, tractor, and heavy equipment parts industry's premier annual gathering. Since 1987, we've been connecting dealers, dismantlers, parts vendors, and industry suppliers from across the country for four days of business, networking, and friendship.

UPN isn't a trade show in the traditional sense — it's a community. Deals are made on the vendor floor, relationships are built on the golf course, and stories are shared over dinner at the Vendor Reception. Many attendees have been coming for decades.

In 2027, we celebrate our 40th anniversary in Buffalo, New York — a city that perfectly embodies the tough, hardworking spirit of the used parts industry. We've reserved room blocks, planned unforgettable outings, and are expecting our biggest turnout ever.

40th Anniversary Special

This year's event features special programming, commemorative materials, and surprises celebrating four decades of the Used Parts Network. You don't want to miss this one.
