Several Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and GKN have formed a sustainable partnership to deliver an exchange and repair service to support the OEM truck dealers with an extreme high standard of quality and availability – when and where the truck operator needs it.

Service – the challenge for the OEM

• OEM´s build great products that will last for many years, how many will be damaged in service? What stock quantity is required?
• How long does stock need to be held before it is required? 
• Sudden demand takes all stock for a 10 year old vehicle/machine – how long does it take to obtain another? 
• Hundreds of part numbers with very low service demand are on stock – what is the cost of stock?
• OEM´s strive to provide the best service to their customers
• Avoidance of excessive stock
