SKF once again proves that commitment to product and service quality pays dividends as is demonstrated by the longstanding relationship of over ten years with key customer, Eagle International Spares.
Eagle, established sixteen years ago, and based in Benoni, Johannesburg, is a specialist supplier of bumper to bumper quality branded aftermarket truck and engine parts for American trucks. "We offer a full range of products including engine components, suspension parts, service kits, shock absorbers, etc. to the local and cross border markets", explains Managing Director, Tommy Howlin. We have distributors in Botswana and Zimbabwe and we export to Mozambique and Zambia. Howlin adds that the company is soon establishing a distributor in Cape Town to further enhance service and to reach a broader market especially in this region where development is going forward quite rapidly.
"We represent and import directly from a number of major American aftermarket manufacturers, enabling us to offer quality proven products at affordable prices. We also maintain a buying office in the states to source our very wide range of parts and to process special one-off orders which can be shipped directly to the customer in country of destination within seven working days", continues Howlin. "We take pride in our sales team who is able to provide considerable technical expertise and product knowledge in support of our sales which are delivered at a service level our customers can confidently rely on".
"Our premises are unique in that they incorporate Fullertrain, a company that specialises in popular gearbox and differential parts, and Trailerboy, a well know trailer parts supplier. This provides the transporter with a wide spectrum one stop destination."
Discussing the ten year relationship with SKF, Howlin says that dealing with SKF makes good business sense. "We deal only with the best and we have developed an excellent business relationship with SKF over the years. They understand that we only accept products of exceptional quality because we will never compromise on the quality we offer our customers. SKF is a respected company with a well established international reputation for supplying superior quality SKF branded products and services and they deliver on this reputation. The quality of their seal and bearing ranges and their service ethic are nothing short of excellent and, what is very important is that SKF has sustained this quality and reliability over the years".
"Because we trust the product quality we have added to the SKF range over the years. We purchase from SKF according to what the market demands; when a new truck model requires a different seal or bearing application, we know we can turn to SKF, confident in the knowledge that they will have the product. In addition, with the excellent product availability we can rest easy in the knowledge that when our customers need products, SKF will deliver on time every time," concludes Howlin.
