Keystone Automotive Operations Adds Four New Lines

Keystone Automotive Operations has added four new lines to its supplier roster. Vogtland, FiTech, JMS and Turbosmart have joined Keystone’s speed and performance division. The company said these additional brands will be essential to the continued growth of the sport compact, domestic, import, modern muscle and street rod segments.

“We are committed to investing in the market with the goal of offering deeper and broader coverage across various product categories,” said Larry Montante, vice president of category management. “These new lines are reputable additions to our existing speed and performance inventory and provide our customers with a great opportunity to grow their businesses by reaching even more end-consumers.”

Keystone offers more than 165,000 unique SKUs and says it will continue to expand its footprint to meet the growing needs of its customer base.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
