FOR WHOM THIS GUIDE IS

Make the most of your parts business

This guide is primarily aimed towards managers and decision makers in the after-sales departments of machine manufacturers (OEMs) with an annual turnover of more than five million euros in the spare parts business and over 500k pruchased parts revenue.

This includes companies primarily located in: Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GSA); USA & Canada; Norway, Sweden & Finnland and Italy.

The guide benefits OEMs from all sub-sectors of the mechanical engineering industry, excluding the automotive industry. The background is that all machine manufacturers face the same challenge: with declining margins in new sales, spare parts pricing has a high impact in the revenue and profitability of the entire company.
