A prominent automotive OEM was struggling with rising operational costs in supply chain management. Seeking solutions, they turned to Kem Krest for help.

The Kem Krest team developed a comprehensive strategy that combined strategic sourcing and aftersales customer support. First, we uncovered areas of excessive cost, such as transmission fluid packaging. Leveraging our vast network of trusted suppliers, we sourced a lower cost alternative. Then, after working with the OEM for a brief period, we saw an opportunity to increase aftermarket sales of the fluid. We started direct contact with parts and service managers, fostering greater awareness and strong relationships. This proactive, high-touch dealer support reinforced the advantages of using genuine OEM transmission fluid over aftermarket alternatives.

Upon forming a partnership with Kem Krest, the automaker immediately saw cost savings exceeding $1.5 million—spanning from supplies and packaging to logistics. Plus, the OEM’s aftermarket sales grew by 12% in just the first year. These results prove, once again, how Kem Krest consistently exceeds customer expectations and delivers extraordinary value!
