This month we take a look at febi, and what makes this company great.
As part of the internationally active bilstein group, febi is represented in more than 170 countries through branches and motor factors and is recognised as one of the most trusted partners for garages and workshops. To guarantee the availability of products wherever and whenever they’re needed, the group continues to invest heavily in expanding its logistics capacity.
According to febi, its state-of-the-art logistics centres are strategically located in key markets all over the world, one of which is in Markham Vale, Chesterfield. This facility plays a vital role in supplying parts across the country. With its UK logistics centre, the firm can respond faster to customer demands, provide tailored support and even welcome customers to see how we work. Being local also means the team can regularly visit workshops and garages across the region to stay closely connected.
The UK warehouse supplies the entirety of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Republic of Ireland – ensuring workshops can rely on fast and consistent deliveries.
Thanks to its streamlined processes, modern technology (such as the WITRON Order Picking System), and forklifts, the teams can accurately pick, pack and ship everything from small items like filters, drop links and wheel nuts to larger, heavier parts including control arms, exhausts, and brake discs.
Parts ready to go
In today’s fast-paced world, mobility is everything. That’s why febi has more than 50,000 parts readily available for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles.
As trendsetters and pioneers in the independent aftermarket, febi believes every garage should have access to the latest replacement parts for your vehicle as soon as it hits the road. In fact, it has even made a ‘Fast to Market’ commitment, so that repairs can be carried out quickly and efficiently – even on the newest vehicles, including hybrid, electric, and hydrogen- powered models.
One of febi’s greatest strengths, it claims, is the reliability and consistent OEmatching quality across the entire product range – giving workshops, garages, and drivers complete peace of mind.
These are some of the quality controls parts undergo:
- Benchmark products against OE samples
- Test dimensions to guarantee accuracy of fit
- Assess materials for durability and strength
- Carry out both non-destructive and destructive workmanship testing
The in-house quality management specialists thoroughly examine all new products against OE standards before they are released.
To reinforce this commitment, all febi replacement parts are back by a 3-year Manufacturer Guarantee, exceeding the statutory warranty – which the firm says is a clear demonstration of why customers can trust them.
