Also, if we talk about INA brand, it should be noted that this direction is developing with very rapid paces, in particular the product line of INA kits “KIT” – the set contain all the parts for installation including the belt. Under the FAG brand for a quite long time we propose the Wheel Pro kits. The development dynamics of these products is different from all the others due to the fact that these are the high-tech products which are, as an integrated solutions, allow the service station to provide quality to the customer and to earn more money.

Schaeffler: We like the exhibition this year. For the second year in a row Schaeffler on its stand presents products live - the so-called “Technik Live!”. This year we gathered even larger audience, which was interesting in this presentation. Also, looking at other participants’ stands, we note that the exhibition is getting more interesting. And it pleases.
