CARTERET, NJ — CRP Industries, an exclusive distributor of ContiTech branded belts in North America, announced at AAPEX this week that its 2006 domestic and import catalogs are ready for distribution.
Founded in 1954 as the North American partner of Continental AG, CRP ships products from distribution centers in New Jersey, California, Canada, and Mexico. The company’s extensive product lines span three market segments: automotive replacement parts, high-speed motors and industrial hoses.
The new 2006 catalogs cover model years up to 2005 on an extensive range of cars, light trucks and SUVs in the NAFTA market. CRP has continued to add a complete range of the latest ContiTech serpentine belts, timing belts and timing belt tensioner kits to its already extensive program. “Our ongoing commitment to provide a complete program significantly adds to our appeal in the market place,” said Dan Schildge, COO. “CRP’s ContiTech belts offer the same superior quality that ContiTech has made for such OE customers in Europe as Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen”.
Also at AAPEX, CRP, in cooperation with ContiTech, displayed ContiTech’s New TOOL-KIT for Elastic Multiple V-ribbed Belts in the New Product Showcase. These highly elastic belts hold tension on their own and no longer require a belt tensioner. The company said the benefits of this new technology are extensive: Pretension for entire service life, no automatic or fixed tension take-up necessary, no retensioning required during service life, extended service life and reduced vibration. Though not yet available for vehicles in the US, ContiTech expects to be adding more and more applications in the months to come as this technology becomes more accepted by car manufacturers.
