The recent announcement by Magneti Marelli to transfer their UK operations is part of a programme to streamline distribution and improve customer service. In future product will be distributed direct from Italy to selected UK distributors, and Trupart is proud to announce that it has been chosen as one of these key distributors.
The change will not affect service as Trupart will be investing heavily on extended stock profiles.

Electronic Cataloguing
In association with MAM (Sheffield) Trupart has taken its first steps towards providing cataloguing information in an electronic format. The first range to be catalogued electronically is the steering and suspension programme (2001) and more ranges will follow in due course.

European Brake Disc Launch
Trupart has been a specialist in the brake disc market for over ten years and currently distributes approximately 250,000 brake discs each year.
Recent changes in the market however, have highlighted an opportunity for the company to offer two ranges. The first a budget priced high quality range, and the second a high specification OE type product. The part numbering system facilitates use of the existing catalogue and more details are available by contacting the Sales Office.

Lighting Range Update
The Trupart lighting offer focuses predominantly around OE product and the company is a distributor for Magneti Marelli, Hella, Bosch, Britax, Valeo, Axo and Arteb product.
However in addition Trupart offers the largest range of non original lighting in the Aftermarket and this range is becoming increasingly successful. Customers not requiring OE product have access to an alternative range and this has been significantly extended in the 2002 catalogue. All parts are of course complete with 'E' mark approval.
The catalogue also includes full details of Trupart's door mirror programme and is available by contacting the Sales Office.

New Computer
The recent development of the Trupart business, the increasing number of products stocked and the growth of the customer base has meant that the company has outgrown its existing I.T. network. The existing MAM Trader package will be upgraded to the company's Autopart system and it is planned that the launch date should be January 2002.
The new system will improve many aspects of the larger business and should facilitate several customer service features which are not currently available

Business Development Service at IMPS
International Motor Part Supplies (IMPS), which is Trupart's wholly owned subsidiary that services the Aftermarket in Scotland, has traditionally focused on the "hard parts" market and not targeted the lighting sector, as is done by Trupart elsewhere.
However with effect from September, IMPS will be stocking a full range of lighting products, both OE and non-OE. This is a significant development for the company and the newly introduced stock at Glasgow will provide a competitive and comprehensive alternative range to the market

Customer Service Survey
As part of a study undertaken by the University of Leeds Business School, Trupart undertook a Customer Service Survey during the Summer months to gauge the views of customers in a detailed and structured way. Over the coming months the results will be analysed and as and where required, alterations will be made to the service offered.
Trupart welcomes the comments of its customers and is keen to promote a first class service so please contact us with any suggestions.
