New Brake Caliper Concept

- NO SURCHARGE (DEPOSIT) ON 1.000 REFERENCES

Through many years SBS Automotive A/S has been among the market leaders on sales and development of brake calipers to the independent aftermarket in Europe. With our new concept we offer a unique opportunity on brake calipers.

 

No surcharge on calipers has been known in the marketplace for quite a while - but only on a limited range of references. With the new concept, SBS Automotive is offering 1.000 references without surcharge, and with more than 88% market coverage.

Your Benefits

For the wholesalers there are several benefits with this new concept – both in terms of economy and handling/logistics.


Economical benefits:
The wholesaler has the possibility to reduce the stock balance of surcharges significantly – this can be of high importance as the cost of surcharge per caliper typically is €20 - €25. The same amount is listed as stock value per caliper on stock.

  • With i.e. 1.000 calipers in stock the surcharge balance is between € 20.000 to € 25.000. This balance can be almost eliminated with the new concept from SBS Automotive.
  • Less value loss on surcharge as not all returns are being accepted and credited by the supplier.
  • 90% less cores will be equal to cost savings due to less need of manpower in the warehouse and less administrative work with credit notes in the office.

Logistics benefits:
No need to collect and return old cores to the suppliers in the same amount as before. The hassle doing this, can be limited to only approximately 10%. The benefits of this will be:

  • Limited number of credit notes to customers
  • Limited core returns to suppliers
  • Less resources needed on stocks

“All in all, there are a lot of benefits if you decide to pursue this unique opportunity with SBS Automotive”, says SBS Automotive CSO, Lars From.
