ASAP signs partnership with ZF D
uring the London Boat Show, ASAP Supplies Ltd and ZF Services UK signed a distributor agreement
to support the aftermarket for ZF products. ASAP has been supplying products for ZF gearboxes for a number of years, but due to the increasing number of customers, it made sense to work directly with ZF to ensure the company gave its customers 100% satisfaction across the board. With ASAP now being one of ZF Services UK’s official aftermarket support partners, it will be able to offer better stock levels, same-day dispatch, technical support, online ordering and many other benefits for customers. Shaun Wigley, Managing Director of ASAP, said: “We are extremely
delighted to now be working with ZF Services UK, it will help strengthen and progress both businesses and will give ASAP the confidence to supply customers with official OEM products that are innovative and reliable”. He went on to say, “ZF Services UK is now one of many brands that we work directly with and it’s extremely important to us that we have these working relationships as it helps to support and guide our customers for whenever they need it”. Jim Peebles of ZF Services UK
added, “The addition of ASAP Supplies Ltd will complement and enhance our current service and support network. This Aftersales & Service Point (ASP) reflects our desire to collaborate with companies
