STEERING THE AFTERMARKET
Shaftec speaks to VITAL NEWS about their latest investment towards quality and
efficiency in manufacturing reliable parts for the aftermarket.
Priding themselves on being committed to
providing customers with a diverse portfolio
of new and remanufactured OE quality
products, Shaftec also takes reliability and
quality very seriously. In 2018 alone, Shaftec
made considerable investment to ensure that
customer needs are not only met efficiently
but also, to the highest standard.
INVESTING IN EXCELLENCE WARRANTING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE
Apart from investing in new, state-of-the-
art EPS testing equipment that ensures all
Shaftec components uphold high-quality
expectations, the company has made two new
additions to the production line in the last
year – the Wheelabrator Shot Blaster and the
Technowash Spray Wash machine. Recognising that customer satisfaction
is imperative, Shaftec continues to serve
customers with a Technical Support team
(0844 257 1818) that has a wealth of
experience within. The dedicated team not
only correctly identify the difficult parts, but
offer comprehensive support in fitting and
troubleshooting.
A GROWING AND DIVERSE RANGE
Shaftec boasts one of the highest stock levels
available in the country with nearly 6,000
stocked lines that are readily available from
FPS via same/next-day delivery. Shaftec
continually demonstrates their dedication
towards providing options out of the OE
dealer network by developing their range of
first-to-market steering and transmission
components.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CUSTOMERS
Loading parts into the Wheelabrator for shot blasting
The Technowash Spray Wash
Traditionally a manual task, Shaftec has taken
the initiative to shift out of this antiquated
method of cleaning and treating components.
This major investment has drastically reduced
the resources and time needed for this
crucial part of the remanufacturing process.
Furthermore, Shaftec has in turn upskilled
their personnel to obtain expertise in other
aspects of manufacturing quality transmission
and steering components.
All this translates into a huge range of OE
quality parts with diverse technologies,
and unwavering customer support. Serving
motor factors by providing them with diverse
opportunities and reliable service, Shaftec
intends to continue adapting products to the
latest demands and maintain their position as
a reliable aftermarket supplier.
Shaftec parts are catalogued on the F:Drive
and MAM Autocat. Available from FPS via
same/next-day delivery, speak to your local
FPS representative to find out how you can
