Over 300 EUROPART customers attended the race weekend at the Hungaroring / Winning with EUROPART’s own brand: Second victory this season for Steffi Halm (Reinert Racing Team) / EUROPART own brand products much in demand in Hungary
The second half of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship season began on August 26 at the legendary Hungaroring in Hungary. From 26th to 28th August 2016, no fewer than 32,000 visitors experienced a racing weekend in the height of summer. Tamás Litvanyi, EUROPART country manager Hungary, had invited more than 300 customers to enjoy the spectacle together with EUROPART.
As usual, Team Reinert Racing was equipped with EUROPART own brand products, and competed within the races at the Hungaroring: driver René Reinert did not take part in the racing weekend, but his team colleague Steffi Halm performed extremely well on Saturday, taking first place for the second time this season.
“The truck race at the Hungaroring is the perfect opportunity to present our own brand in action. Our customers were right there, when Steffi Halm took first place”, explained an enthusiastic Litvanyi. “Our own brand products are truly truck race approved and we are very proud of that”.
Litvanyi explains the importance of the EUROPART own brand for the Hungarian market: “Our customers in Hungary not only appreciate the wide selection of more than 6,500 products, but the quality and favourable price of the products”. All EUROPART own brand items are tested by both, EUROPART and external testing organisations to German standards and meet the high requirements. In addition, all of the suitable suppliers must first pass a supplier selection process along with a subsequent audit – this enables EUROPART to guarantee its customers the best quality. Once the supplier and the product have passed all of the tests and certifications, EUROPART adds the corresponding part to its own brand range.
Today, EUROPART's own brand product range includes more than 6,500 parts. In addition to consumables and workshop equipment such as chemical products, oils and tools, customers can also obtain an extensive range of parts for axles and brakes, suspension, engine accessories, lighting and electrical components along with a selection of equipment and accessories.
EUROPART Hungary has a dense sales network with a total of 13 branches in Budapest, Nyíregyháza, Zalaegerszeg, Szeged, in Kaposvár, Pécs, Debrecen, Miskolc, Szolnok and Békéscsaba. Tamás Litvanyi emphasises: “With our product range and our branch network, we are already very well-positioned on the Hungarian market. In terms of both, we are looking to expand further.”
