SKF Vehicle Aftermarket, a division of SKF Group, is one of the global brands strutting their stuff at Automechanika Johannesburg 2024.
SKF Group is a global leader in bearings and related technologies. Its Vehicle Aftermarket segment focuses on providing high-quality replacement parts and solutions for the automotive sector, catering to both passenger and commercial vehicles.
According to Heinrich Stoltz, Aftermarket Sales Manager for the Middle East and Africa, SKF usually attends Automechanika Johannesburg in a more supportive role for the group’s big customers, but this year decided to participate under its own banner.
“Usually, SKF participates in its own capacity at Automechanika Frankfurt where we went big this year. We therefore decided to do the same at Automechanika Johannesburg 2024,” explained Stoltz.
Stoltz said the most attractive benefit of Automechanika Johannesburg is the networking opportunities.
“We are here purely to interact with our existing customers, meet new ones and especially network with those from markets across Africa,” explained Stoltz.
Automechanika Johannesburg 2024 finishes today (21 November).
