COMLINE FEATURES IN
THE SUNDAY TIMES HSBC
INTERNATIONAL TRACK 200
LEADING automotive
parts supplier Comline
Auto Parts Ltd. (Comline)
has featured in
the prestigious Sunday
Times HSBC International
Track 200 league table for a
third year in succession.
Renowned as an independent
British distributor of
European, Japanese and Korean
replacement car parts,
Comline’s inclusion for a
third consecutive year (2016,
2017 and 2018) comes off the
back of significant and sustained
international growth
during this period. This has
been spearheaded by the
ongoing success of Comline
filters and by the brand’s
braking range, plus its continued
diversification into
categories, such as steering
and suspension.
Marketing and Communications
Manager, Leigh Davies,
said: “Comline works
hard to bring its product
to market in more than 40
countries worldwide and that
number continues to grow.
This International Track 200
hat-trick is testament to the
collective efforts of our staff
and our network of customers
in the UK and across the
globe.”
Amanda Murphy, Head of
Commercial Banking, HSBC
UK (the league table sponsor),
said: “We at HSBC UK
are delighted to back The
Sunday Times International
Track 200 again this year. All
the businesses it showcases
have truly inspiring stories
to tell about creativity, resilience
and ambition to succeed.
The 47 companies in
the southeast of England are
putting the region firmly on
Euro Car Parts to continue
offering VAG Group EGRs
EURO CAR Parts will continue to stock EGR valves and
coolers for VAG Group 1.6 2l diesel vehicles, long after they
have been discontinued to the aftermarket.
Original manufacturers of the parts recently announced
plans to cease supplying the aftermarket, choosing
instead, to focus distribution only at Original Equipment
(OE), or dealership level. For independent repairers, this
means replacements can only be sourced directly from the
manufacturer, at a considerably higher cost than aftermarket
alternatives.
Despite this move, Euro Car Parts has announced that
it not only holds stock currently but is expecting further
deliveries of these parts after agreeing a deal to continue
supplying the independent aftermarket. This makes the
factor able to support repairers working on all VAG 1.6, 2 litre
diesel vehicles manufactured after 2010 with a CAY engine.
Euro Car Parts has the largest aftermarket EGR range in
the UK. Repairers looking to purchase an EGR valve or cooler
for a VAG Group 1.6 2l diesel vehicle should visit: https://

the map. They are the kinds
of enterprises we are thrilled
to support and that provide
the backbone of our economy,
today and tomorrow.”
Published within the business
section of The Sunday
Times on June 10, the esteemed
HSBC International
Track 200 table is currently
in its ninth edition and ranks
Britain’s privately-owned
companies by their individual
international sales growth.
This hotlist is sponsored by
HSBC and compiled by research
and events company
Fast Track.
This momentous treble
for Comline emphasises the
brand’s growth credentials
and underlines exactly why it
is currently revered as one of
the fastest growing automotive
brands in Europe.
