OE-quality parts: The best choice for workshops
Automotive workshops face many challenges today, including rising cost pressure, complex vehicle technology, and ever shorter repair times. It is therefore more important than ever to use the right spare parts.
What are OE parts?
When it comes to spare parts, you are spoiled for choice: Should they be OE parts, i.e. original parts in original equipment manufacturer quality, or automotive parts from third-party suppliers? Or perhaps the cheapest alternative from the internet?
OE parts are original parts in original equipment manufacturer quality. They are produced by the same manufacturers that also supply the parts to the automotive manufacturers.
They therefore offer the highest level of fit, safety, and reliability. OE parts are perfectly matched to the specific requirements of each vehicle and have a long service life. Spare parts from third-party suppliers often do not meet the high quality standards of OE parts and can pose safety risks.
For companies that focus on quality, optimal installation and fit, as well as reliable safety for their customers, there is only one option: OE parts.
For spare parts for connections and fastenings in the vehicle, NORMA Group products are the best choice: The comprehensive aftermarket portfolio offers the right solution for almost all applications in the vehicle - in the best OE quality and at fair prices.

What are the advantages?
OE parts have decisive advantages over spare parts from third-party suppliers. They are designed to meet the strict standards and specifications of the automotive manufacturers.
Automotive professionals and workshops can rely on the precise fit of OE parts. Since they are specially developed for the respective vehicle models, they fit exactly to the existing components in the vehicle. This precise fit ensures not only easy installation, but also improved performance and safety of the vehicle.
In contrast, spare parts from third-party suppliers can sometimes be inaccurate and lead to problems such as leaks, vibrations or even malfunctions.
Reliability and longer service life are also features that distinguish parts such as vehicle clamps in original equipment quality. Since they are manufactured according to the specific standards of the automotive manufacturers, they are generally more durable and reliable than spare parts from third-party suppliers. This means less downtime and repair costs for vehicle owners and reliable quality for workshop professionals.
