FAE signs with the ATR International AG group in 2018 as a new recognized supplier with a general international agreement, giving it the opportunity to explore new markets and grow together with the group.
ATR International AG, was established in 1999 due to the increasing internationalization of purchases and exchange of products and services in the aftermarket sector. ATR is one of the most successful commercial groups with the main distributors in the aftermarket of automotive components worldwide. It has 37 shareholders and a turnover of €22.5 B.
The main objective of ATR is to strengthen the position of its members in the aftermarket through coordinated purchasing activities. ATR carries out an arduous task in the selection of its suppliers and the relationship with both its shareholders and its suppliers is marked by continuous and exhaustive coordination between all of them. This helps ATR both to ensure high-quality products for the final consumer, and to grow together and consolidate its position in the market for all the group’s participants.
Jurgen Sergooris, Commercial Director at FAE, stated: “It is a privilege and a fantastic opportunity for FAE to be able to belong to the ATR group as it gives us new opportunities to explore new markets and grow together with the group. We are a company that believes in establishing relationships of trust, solid and lasting. We know that we have to be well positioned to face the challenges of the industry and the challenges of the future.”
