How was EEC established and where is it heading?
After part one explored EEC’s training programmes, the second part of this story sees its managing director, Paul Clark, offer you the chance to get to know the company just that little bit better, by sharing a potted history of a business that his father established in 1973.
John Clark became a significant presence within the automotive aftermarket, providing the sector exhaust products, building a reputation of having the right parts available at the right time and at a competitive price.
Forever remembered for his entrepreneurial spirit, my father knew there was an emerging need to satisfy growing demand for catalytic converters. Before long, the EEC we know today began to take shape, and our manufacturing base grew to include both Revcoat Technologies Ltd. and Prolazer Components Ltd. securing the company as a true end to end provider of emission products.
Over the years, we’ve shared in our journey of continued growth, building upon our reputation as a leading supplier of product within the UK and beyond. It’s no accident that our name is European Exhaust and Catalyst Ltd. having premises outside the UK, with EEC France being our European base. However, our products are shipped all over the world, so we’re European by name, but truly global by nature.
How does EEC stand out?
EEC is a family business in every sense, with me now at the helm. Celebrating over 27 years of successful business, EEC is a well-established name in the automotive industry. Known for our aftersales and technical training, along with having those products others just don’t have, we continue to open new doors and grow existing customers business every year.
Vehicle technology evolves all the time; with the addition of DPFs, SCR catalysts and GPFs to emission reduction systems, we are incredibly well placed to support business into the future.
Being the only manufacturer in England to have the capability to apply our own coating technology, we have technical knowledge and control of our processes. We don’t rely on others to provide the most essential element of what we produce.
The market car parc is continually evolving, and the ranking position of part numbers is ever moving. So, with EEC in your corner, offering stock support and data analysis, it means you can be assured that you will have product on your shelf that won’t be gathering dust.
