Shaftec celebrates record growth in 2015

Shaftec is celebrating record business growth in 2015. The leading transmission supplier attributes this to increased demand, on-going programme expansion and an increase of 15% in its customer base.

This announcement highlights the businesses growing presence across the aftermarket and illustrates how the Shaftec brand is in the best possible shape moving into a new year.

Tom Curtis, Shaftec director explained: “The Shaftec brand is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with across the industry. Driving this success is the improved efficiency, manufacturing capability and stock holding we’ve achieved since our business relocation at the start of 2015.

“Larger premises has allowed us to add extra machinery and given us more storage space. This in turn has improved our manufacturing proficiency, allowing us to focus on extending our ranges but also achieve record growth of the existing product portfolio.

“All of this, combined with an increased workforce and streamlined logistics is resulting in growth of our customer base.”

Tom continued: “In the UK this is thanks to continued and growing buying group approval, MAM listing and a strong distribution model. Not only does this give us the edge in terms of brand awareness, but it also means that all of our customers have access to same day delivery service wherever they are in the country.”

The TecDoc certified business which supplies the European aftermarket with remanufactured and new transmission, braking and steering parts for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, upgraded to new Midlands-based premises at the start of 2015.
