(SMP) announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire AX V Nissens III APS (Nissens), a European manufacturer and distributor of aftermarket engine cooling and air conditioning products with a growing array of vehicle control technologies. The transaction values Nissens at approximately $388 million and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024.

“We are delighted to announce this acquisition, which will make our combined business the aftermarket leader in North America and Europe in thermal management products,” said Eric Sills, Standard Motor Products’ chairman and CEO. “It will also expand SMP’s portfolio of powertrain-neutral product categories. We plan to continue operating Nissens as a stand-alone unit, while leveraging the combined strength of the two companies to realize both cost and revenue synergies.”

In a news release announcing the acquisition, Sills added, “We believe the combination with

is a powerful one. Both companies have a similar go-to-market strategy of supplying full-line professional grade product offerings, and enjoy complementary product portfolios. Meanwhile, the two companies largely operate in different geographic markets. As such, we believe that we are stronger together, capitalizing on synergies in both markets and strengthening our position in each. Together, we can accelerate growth through cross-selling our product offerings, realize cost reduction through combined resources, and achieve enhanced operational excellence though collaboration and best practices.”

“We are very excited to have SMP as our new owner”, said Klavs Pedersen, Nissens’ chief executive officer. “We have been following SMP’s activities in the US, and we see a lot of similarities in the way SMP and Nissens operate in their respective focus regions. I have personally known the SMP management team for several years, and I believe there is a very strong cultural fit that will support and accelerate the positive development of both companies. We look forward to becoming part of the SMP family.”

The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of applicable antitrust and other regulatory approvals.

      By roybrakepad
      Now that we understand the importance of choosing the right supplier, let’s delve into the specific qualities that make a brake pad supplier worth partnering with.
      1. Proven Track Record of Quality
      The first and foremost quality to look for in a car brake pad supplier is a proven track record of producing high-quality products. The supplier should have a history of consistently delivering brake pads that meet or exceed industry standards, ensuring safety, durability, and performance. Ensure the proven good record, they must have:
      Quality Certifications

      The Automotive Business Boost at AAPEX 2024
      By Counterman
      The automotive aftermarket’s premiere event, AAPEX 2024, is now just a matter of weeks away. As Carm Capriotto explains in the latest edition of AAPEX Insights, the event is not just an opportunity to explore new products, but a chance to significantly enhance your business.
      In this installment, Capriotto details the benefits of attending AAPEX. He recalls one shop owner’s enthusiasm as he discovered new products and networked with suppliers. This kind of interaction—seeing, touching and asking questions about new tools—provides a level of insight that online research simply cannot match.
      Capriotto discusses AAPEX with Matt Fanslow, manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN, and host of the “Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z” podcast. They note a growing trend among shops that attend AAPEX: They return with renewed energy and knowledge that can directly boost their revenue. Any temporary disruption caused by closing a shop for a few days to attend AAPEX is outweighed by the increased efficiency and innovation that follows.
      Fanslow compares the AAPEX experience to a trip to Disney World—expensive but worth the investment. Just as people plan and sacrifice to make a memorable trip happen, investing in AAPEX can significantly improve your shop’s operations and team capabilities. The exposure to new technologies and networking opportunities can invigorate your business and motivate your team.
      The knowledge gained, the relationships built, and the new tools and techniques discovered at AAPEX can lead to substantial long-term benefits. This year’s show runs from November 5-7 in Las Vegas. You can register at

      Why Choosing the Right Brake Pad Supplier is Crucial?
      By roybrakepad
      Brake pads are a vital component of any vehicle’s braking system. They play a key role in the safety and reliability of a vehicle, making it essential that they meet the highest standards of quality. A subpar brake pad can lead to increased wear and tear, reduced braking efficiency, and even safety hazards. Therefore, the supplier you choose must not only provide high-quality products but also demonstrate a commitment to excellence in every aspect of their operations.
      The Impact of a Reliable Supplier on Your Business
      A reliable brake pad supplier can positively impact your business in several ways:
      Product Quality: Consistently high-quality brake pads reduce returns, customer complaints, and potential liability issues. Operational Efficiency:A dependable supplier ensures timely deliveries, helping you maintain production schedules and meet customer demands. Cost Management: Quality suppliers offer competitive pricing and help minimize costs, even the low MOQ, related to defects, warranties, and downtime. Customer Satisfaction: Reliable products lead to higher customer satisfaction and repeat business, enhancing your brand reputation. Compliance and Safety: Suppliers who adhere to industry standards ensure that your products meet legal and safety requirements, avoiding costly fines and recalls. Given these factors, it’s clear that selecting a brake pad supplier is not just a purchasing decision—it’s a strategic partnership that can influence the success of your business.

      SMP Expands Electronic Throttle Body Program
      By Counterman
      link hidden, please login to view (SMP) announced an expansion of its industry-leading Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) program. The program includes nearly 250 part numbers with coverage for import and domestic vehicles. All Standard ETBs include the required gaskets for installation, and applications with high OE failure rates feature multiple design improvements. Standard said its engineers evaluate the original part, identify the OE issues, and correct those problems to deliver more durable ETBs. For instance, the ETBs on Chrysler/Pentastar 2.0L and 2.4L engines are widely known to fail prematurely. Standard engineers increased the face width on the gear to reduce stress on the gear teeth, improved the geometry of the gear teeth to make them stronger, and upgraded the actual gear to a higher-strength, heat-resistant material.

      link hidden, please login to viewrecently released ETBs for popular Volvo cars and SUVs through the 2022 model-year, as well as Jeep vehicles like the 2024-22 Grand Cherokee and 2024-18 Wrangler. Additional new coverage includes vehicles like the 2024-21 Ford F-150, 2019-15 Hyundai Sonata, and 2022-20 General Motors heavy-duty trucks. New related components include Accelerator Pedal Sensors for the 2023-21 Hyundai Elantra, 2023-22 Hyundai Tucson and 2023 Kia Sportage. In addition to the Electronic Throttle Body program, Standard said it also offers a wide array of related components, such as Accelerator Pedal Sensors, Throttle Position Sensors, Variable Intake Manifold Actuators, ETB Connectors and more.
