TPS Selects FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK) for all-new QUANTUM oil range
Volkswagen Group UK has announced a major new supplier partnership with Fuchs Lubricants (UK) plc. The agreement follows an exhaustive tender process and sees Fuchs replace Castrol as the lubricants supplier for Trade Parts Specialists’ (TPS) Quantum range of oils.
The resulting all-new Quantum oil range represents the most important product launch in TPS’ 10-year history. The new partnership enabled Fuchs to provide several additional product and service improvements, including environmentally friendly packaging formats, improved trade pricing, VRN look-up facilities, technical support and specialist branch training.
Phillip Taylor, Head of Business for TPS, says: “We’re thrilled to be announcing this partnership. With Fuchs, we have been able to increase our car parc coverage significantly while at the same time simplifying the range, improving availability and providing an increased number of ‘value add’ elements. We are confident this partnership will prove to be a valuable development for both our centres and their customers.”
Russell Kenyon, Fuchs Automotive Director, said: “Fuchs is very proud to have been appointed by TPS. As a specified first fill provider to the factory, we have a rich history with Volkswagen Group and our exemplary track record for innovation, quality and project management has been acknowledged with a prestigious Volkswagen Group Award. Through this new supplier partnership and the revised Quantum brand, the aftermarket can now also benefit from a competitively priced latest technology oil that is manufactured in the UK and supported by a wealth of German technological innovation. We are now looking forward to collaborating with TPS on the possible development of other lubricants for the Quantum range over the months and years ahead.”
