Karsten Schüßler-Bilstein, Managing Director febi bilstein
"As a leading manufacturer and supplier of replacement parts for private and commercial vehicles, we are part of the independent aftermarket, and we comprehensively support our market partners. Independent workshops have the right to a wider product selection, proven quality, and skilled service."
Gerald Lackner, Managing Director AVL DiTEST
"We understand the daily challenges for independent workshops. The access to technical information for the maintenance and repair, as well as for the diagnostics of modern automobiles is decisive for the future of independent repair workshops."
Volker Einbeck, Managing Director GEDORE Group
"In their respective traditional core business sectors, the three companies complement each other perfectly. There is no overlap of products or services. Indeed, the benefits of the synergies of this marketing cooperation and the advantages for the workshop are evident: AVL DiTEST supplies the diagnostics equipment including service package with Hotline and Internet Helpdesk, febi bilstein supplies the replacement part, and GEDORE • KLANN supplies the specialist tool for professional vehicle repair."
