A group of world leading OE Manufacturers, who recognise the increasingly varied choices of brands and quality
that are now available to the Independent Aftermarket.
We are convinced / concerned that distributors / installers are being mis-sold products that claim to be of ‘OE Matching Quality’. The phrase ‘Matching Quality’ is a catch-all and does not quantify or qualify how this standard is achieved or measured. In order to win OE business, OE Suppliers have to meet the hugely challenging standards set by the Vehicle Manufacturers with zero defects.
We feel that it is our responsibility to make the Aftermarket aware of the different qualities and the inherent risks of fitting second quality parts. We believe that we can raise awareness by having a united marketing and advertising campaign.
Members must have substantial, relevant OE volumes in Europe / UK and their Aftermarket offering must be the same OE Parts. Membership is by Invitation from the Committee of OESAA.
