Marathon Warehouse Distribution, the UK’s national independent wholesale distributor, was appointed as the official UK distributor of NK Braking in early 2018. Since then, it has seen impressive sales growth as customers across the country have learned the benefits of the NK Braking brand. PMF finds out more.
Originating in Scandinavia, NK was introduced into the demanding German aftermarket more than 25 years ago, where it quickly went from strength to strength.
The NK brand is now highly respected across Europe, as well as the harshest parts of Russia and neighbouring countries where NK’s strapline ‘The Reliable Part’ truly reflects the ability of NK components to perform in the toughest conditions.
This pedigree enables NK to offer a five- year guarantee against manufacturing and material defects.
