In the beautiful and historical town of Dubrovnik, Croatia, NSK hosted its 2019 European
Distributor Conference. Over 100 delegates from distribution partners across all EMEA
regions attended the 3-day-event to share information and network.
During this event, held on 9-11 October, NSK shared information about its Global Aftermarket
Strategy and “What’s New” about products, sectors, AIP and Marketing. Representatives from
NSK’s Top Management globally were present to liaise with distributors and emphasizing their
importance to the company’s success moving forwards.
“The Aftermarket Business is complex. But it’s a people business,” explained NSK’s Jean-Yves
Chapelet, GAM Marketing Director & Director Western Europe Sales Division. “So, it is key for
NSK to decide with whom we are approaching the markets. That is why we really appreciate the
great attendance of our distribution partners, as they have been and will be our source for success
in the Aftermarket business.”
During the conference NSK proudly celebrated distributors who successfully became Certified AIP
Partners: APRB (Russia), Coroll (Czech Republic) and Lagerton (Serbia); and the first Certified
AIP Service Branch: Rubix (Netherlands). The Certified AIP Partner Programme has proven to be
very interesting for NSK distributor partners. It differentiates them from their direct competitors by
increasing their skills in investigating and solving technical issues, offering specific application
expertise, sector know-how and MRO project leadership. In addition, NSK continues to invest in its
Authorised Distributor network with the Certified AIP Programme.
“We are proud of the NSK brand and, above all, to be part of the NSK family”, was the feedback
heard from a distributor after the event. Plans are already being made for NSK’s next European
Distributor Convention.
