SOGEFI GROUP EXTENDS GROUPAUTO CONTRACT

by

Sogefi Group has extended its 25-year contract with supplier Groupauto, securing another three-year term as a preferred supplier to the UK and Ireland.

From the 1st January 2013, Sogefi will continue to supply aftermarket filters from Fram and CoopersFiaam, which the company says is down to ‘continued confidence in the quality, scope and value’ it offers.

Sogefi calls the deal ‘important’, as it will benefit from Groupauto’s large network presence and recognised expertise. The deal is good news for Groupauto, too, which sustains the support of two of the market’s most reputable filtration brands. The renewal will benefit members of both organisations, as well as wholesalers, factors and garage networks.

Nigel Duffield, Sogefi Aftermarket Sales Manager said, ‘I am delighted that Groupauto has once again approved our UK aftermarket filter brands. This means that Groupauto members will be able to continue to benefit from our products encompassing market-leading technologies and OE-quality.

‘The Sogefi UK Aftermarket sales team will be working very hard to satisfy all of the Groupauto customers and provide the services, which only a leading filter provider can ensure.’
