Air springs from the ContiTech premium brand demonstrate the company's expertise as an original equipment manufacturer. Since these are original air springs developed as original equipment, the ContiTech brand is guaranteed to meet the highest quality requirements that fulfill the specifications of vehicle manufacturers in the replacement business too. Customers in the replacement market are benefiting from the development expertise that ContiTech has built up in close collaboration with manufacturers and is bringing to bear in the development of new product solutions. "Hardly any other air spring brand is copied or awarded references as often as ContiTech," says Papadimitriou. "This clearly demonstrates that we are delivering valuable impetus with our product range - after all, only quality is copied."
Air springs from the PHOENIX quality brand are perfectly tailored to the open replacement market. The basis for this is formed by over 50 years of experience in the development of original equipment for renowned vehicle manufacturers. The PHOENIX brand is characterized by its high degree of flexibility when it comes to expanding the product range along with additional product offerings such as screw kits and special air connections specially customized to each type of air spring.
"Our customers benefit from additional services including product training and marketing support for both the ContiTech premium brand and the PHOENIX quality brand," explains Papadimitriou. "Upon request, we also offer an express delivery service for these products." This means that a product in stock can be delivered to dealers within 24 hours in Germany and 48 hours in the EU. Delivery is even quicker with the overnight service. If an order is placed by telephone before 2 p.m., the goods will - if all goes to plan - be delivered by 8 a.m. the following morning.
"Our product portfolio is rounded off by the PRIME-RIDE® brand. This is a highly affordable range aimed especially at people with older vehicles and so is a logical addition to our premium and quality brands," explains Papadimitriou. "We will therefore be further developing the existing product range for this brand, too, in 2015."
