ADDISON, Ill. — KYB says it is on pace to introduce more than 200 new part numbers in 2010. To date, KYB has added 130 new part numbers and has plans to introduce another 80 before the end of the year. Some of the popular, late model applications recently introduced include the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado, 2007-2009 Mazda CX-7, 2009-2010 Mazda6, 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2007-2009 Nissan Altima.
“The demand for new KYB numbers is incredibly high as some motorists want to immediately upgrade the performance of their vehicle’s suspension, while others demand an OE-type product specifically designed to restore handling and control,” said KYB Vice President Mike Fiorito.
Fiorito went on to add, “As the world’s largest supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers we are fortunate that we have the engineering capabilities to develop and release new part numbers quickly. By offering our distribution partners more applications, they can meet the demands of their service provider customers and gain additional sales.”
