Kavo targets UK breakthrough
As the UK car parc continues to evolve, suppliers with a strong heritage in specific vehicle segments are finding fresh opportunities to expand. One such name is Kavo Parts, a player in the aftermarket renowned for its focus on supplying parts for Asian vehicles. With over 40 years of expertise, the company is setting its sights on the UK.
Japanese and Korean manufacturers have a strong and growing presence in the UK. Brands like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia are a common sight on British roads and ramps, so, naturally, demand for aftermarket components for these vehicles is increasing. For Kavo Parts, this marks the perfect opportunity to bring its range and reputation to the fore.
Sven Raats, global export specialist at Kavo Parts, said: “Kavo has long been known across Asia and Europe as a specialist in Asian car parts. In the UK, where the car parc is diversifying, we see a real chance to support motor factors and workshops with the same quality, consistency and expertise that have made us successful elsewhere.”
Kavo Parts offers a portfolio of components with extensive coverage of wear-and-tear parts for Asian vehicles – from brake parts and steering components to shock absorbers, filters and ignition parts. It’s this approach, backed by quality control and logistics, that has earned the brand recognition across more than 100 countries.
Sven added: “Reliability is everything in this business. Motor factors need to know that when they choose a part, it fits, performs and lasts. That’s exactly what Kavo delivers.”
ADAPTING FOR THE UK MARKET
What makes Kavo’s current move intriguing is its expansion beyond its traditional base. While Asian brands remain a core focus, Kavo has recently introduced a new line of shock absorbers and steering parts for European vehicles, with filters being added to this range as this issue of PMF releases.
Sven said: “Whether it’s Asian, American or European vehicles, Kavo Parts delivers reliable parts at good prices – always. We’re evolving without losing the DNA that built our reputation.”
This expansion means you can now look to Kavo, not only for Asian vehicle parts but also for fast-moving parts on popular European makes – all from a single supplier.
‘SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE WITH GENERALIST REACH’
Kavo’s entry into the UK market brings a global brand with the flexibility to support workshops working across a wide range of vehicle brands. With a strong belief in quality assurance, accurate cataloguing and on-time delivery, Kavo believes it is positioning itself as a valuable partner to the UK aftermarket.
