It represents more than 100 years of tradition of innovations in rotating electrical products, and SEG Automotive continues its heritage as a leading OEM supplier of new starters and alternators. These innovations also include the first start/stop system, and highly flexible solutions for hybrid vehicles and high voltage e-drives, according to the company.  

Now the company continues to expand its aftermarket business in North America.

“We are excited to announce that our current aftermarket portfolio for starters and alternators is reaching 1,300 SKUs, and this just this month we launched an additional 180 new SKUs to our that existing portfolio that include the highest OEM Tier 1 quality with unassailable reliability,” said David Manor, the director of sales for SEG Automotive North America. “In fact, our aftermarket products are manufactured on our OE lines with the exact same quality standards and components.”

SEG’s product offering is supported by a dedicated business unit with localized production in Lerma, Mexico, and distribution warehouses in Mexico and the United States that provide best-in-class customer service, logistics, quality and coverage for the North American aftermarket, according to the company.

“We will continue to invest in expanding our portfolio in 12-volt, 24-volt and 48-volt applications to further strengthen our market coverage and to become one of the most relevant aftermarket suppliers in the USA, Canada, and Mexico,” said Roberto Weiler, president of SEG Automotive the Americas.   “Our organization has made a commitment to be the last man standing for starters and alternators both for the OEM business and the aftermarket. This guaranteed product and application coverage for today and the future adds another dimension to our role as a reliable partner for our aftermarket customers.”

Most people have an SEG Automotive product in their car or commercial vehicle and don’t even know it.

The global supplier of starter motors, alternators and components for electrification powers more than 300 million vehicles on the road today.

Almost all automotive OEMs worldwide, including major U.S. brands, rely on SEG Automotive’s global production network – with more than 7,000 employees on six continents. The supplier’s portfolio covers a variety of product segments, from passenger cars and light trucks, commercial vehicles and farm and agricultural vehicles to construction and industrial applications.

      AFTERMARKET VS. OEM BRAKE PADS: PROS & CONS
      By roybrakepad
      Aftermarket brake pads:
      Pros:
      Cost: Aftermarket brake pads typically come at a lower price point compared to OEM brake pads, making them a favorable choice for customers with budget constraints Variety: Aftermarket brake pads come in a wide range of options, including different materials and performance characteristics, allowing consumers to choose pads that best suit their driving needs. Availability: Aftermarket brake pads are widely available from various retailers and suppliers, making them convenient to purchase. Potential Performance Enhancements: Aftermarket brake pads manufacturers also improve braking performance, such as reduced noise, better heat dissipation, or enhanced stopping power. Cons
      Quality Variability: Many aftermarket brake pad manufacturers prioritize low prices, which can result in inconsistent quality. This often leads to issues such as excessive noise, inadequate friction coefficient, and increased wear on brake discs, which are highly unfavorable circumstances. Compatibility Issues: While aftermarket brake pads are designed to be compatible with a variety of vehicles, issues can arise with the dimensions of the brake pads. This can lead to mismatched installations or excessive gaps, resulting in noise and impacting brake performance. Warranty Concerns: While aftermarket brake pad manufacturers often provide warranty periods, many times, these warranties do not accurately reflect the actual lifespan of the brake pads. In other words, the lifespan of the brake pads is significantly reduced, leading to more frequent replacements compared to OEM brake pads, thereby increasing the overall budget for maintenance.

      Pros:
      Exact Fitment: OEM brake pads are designed to precisely fit the specifications of your vehicle, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Quality Assurance: OEM brake pads are manufactured by the same company that produced the original parts for your vehicle, guaranteeing consistent quality and reliability.

      What are aftermarket brake pads?
      By roybrakepad
      Aftermarket brake pads are simply parts that are not made by the original car manufacturer. They are replacement parts that are manufactured by third-party companies, and most are designed and constructed to fit exactly the same and work as well or better than the OEM brake pads they replace.
      In fact, the term “aftermarket” can be a bit confusing. In reality, the more accurate term, and the one we use, is “alternative part”. That’s because these non-OEM brake pads are just that – an alternative to using OEM brake pads for repairs on your vehicle.

      Are OEM Brake Pads Better Than Aftermarket Brake Pads?
      By roybrakepad
      Here , we analyze the differences and options between OEM brake pads and aftermarket brake pads from different perspectives.
      1. Price
      OEM brake pads: One of the most significant drawbacks of Toyota OEM brake pads is their higher cost compared to aftermarket alternatives. Since OEM brake pads are produced by Toyota or its authorized suppliers and sold through dealerships, they often carry a premium price tag. This can make repairs and maintenance more expensive, especially for older vehicles or non-critical components.
      Aftermarket brake pads aftermarket brake pads are often more affordable than OEM brake pads. This can result in significant savings, especially for repairs and replacements that are not covered by warranty or for older vehicles.
       
       
      2.Quality
      OEM brake pads： Toyota OEM brake pads are engineered to meet stringent quality standards. They are tested for durability, performance, and safety, ensuring they function seamlessly with your vehicle.
      Aftermarket brake pads：The quality of aftermarket brake pads can vary significantly between manufacturers. While some aftermarket brake pads meet or exceed OEM standards, others may be poorly made or less reliable.
       
      3.Adaptability
      OEM brake pads: Since OEM brake pads are designed specifically for Toyota vehicles, you can expect them to fit perfectly without any modifications or compatibility issues. This precise fit helps maintain the original performance and integrity of your vehicle. Availability of OEM brake pads can sometimes be limited, particularly for older or less common Toyota models. Dealerships typically stock common parts, but less frequently used components may need to be ordered, which could result in longer wait times for repairs.
      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads may not always fit as precisely as OEM brake pads. This can lead to compatibility issues, performance problems, or even damage to your vehicle if the parts do not meet the correct specifications. 
       
      4.Variety and Customization
      OEM brake pads: OEM brake pads are designed to match the original specifications of Toyota vehicles, which means there may be limited options for customization or upgrading certain aspects of your vehicle beyond what Toyota offers. aftermarket brake pads often provide more variety in terms of features, designs, and performance enhancements.
      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads come in a vast array of styles, designs, and performance levels. This variety allows for greater customization and enhancement of your vehicle, whether you’re looking for aesthetic upgrades or performance improvements.
       
      5. Performance issues
      OEM brake pads: OEM brake pads maintain consistency in terms of design and performance, as they are produced to the same specifications as the original parts installed in your Toyota.This means that if you want to upgrade your vehicle for higher vehicle performance, OEM brake pads are not available. Options to upgrade certain aspects of your vehicle may be limited.
      Aftermarket brake pads：Some aftermarket brake pads are designed to offer better performance than OEM components. For example, aftermarket brake pads or exhaust systems may provide improved stopping power or enhanced sound.Some aftermarket brake pads incorporate the latest technologies or materials that might not be available in OEM brake pads, potentially offering better performance or durability.
       
      6.Convenience
      OEM brake pads：Purchasing OEM brake pads typically requires visiting a Toyota dealership or authorized parts supplier. This dependency may be inconvenient for some consumers who prefer the flexibility of sourcing parts from various suppliers or online retailers.
      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads are widely available through various retailers, online stores, and auto parts shops. This broader availability can make it easier to find parts quickly and may offer more convenient purchasing options.
       
      7.Warranty Issues
      OEM brake pads:Strict Warranty Requirements. While using Toyota OEM brake pads can help maintain warranty coverage for your vehicle, there are often strict requirements regarding the installation and use of these parts. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could potentially void warranty protection in some cases.
      Aftermarket brake pads: Potential Impact on Warranty: Using aftermarket brake pads might affect your vehicle’s warranty, particularly if they are not approved by the manufacturer. It’s essential to check warranty terms to ensure that aftermarket brake pads do not void your coverage.
