Supply partners
The names behind the range
We work with a small group of manufacturers chosen for the quality of their products and the depth of their technical support — not the length of their catalogue.
Partner 01
Firestone
Firestone and Automint have been partners since Automint was established in 1990. Firestone has specialised in the manufacture of air springs for more than 80 years and is a leading supplier for vehicular and industrial applications.
We have invested heavily in Firestone stock, carrying one of the deepest ranges of Firestone air springs available in the UK.
Partner 02
SABO
As the air-spring business grew, we saw a gap in the market for a high-quality aftermarket shock absorber. After careful consideration we chose SABO — for their attention to detail, product quality, range availability and technical support, which fitted our ethos precisely.
We now stock over 500 shock absorber part numbers, one of the largest stock holdings readily available in Europe. Building on that success, in 2015 Automint became SABO's sole distributor for their air-spring range into the UK and Ireland, complementing the Firestone offering and broadening one of the deepest air-spring ranges available in these markets.
Partner 03
SEM Lastik
Automint has been a supply partner with SEM Lastik for over ten years, distributing their range of suspension and steering components. SEM Lastik was established in 1972 in a small workshop in Bursa, Turkey, and quickly earned a solid reputation through the quality of its products and its dedication to service; by the mid-1980s it had become a leader within its sector.
To protect that quality, SEM places particular emphasis on investment in modern machinery and on research and development carried out by highly trained, qualified staff. Today it is a global brand, with products used as original equipment for manufacturers such as BMC, Ford, MAN and Mercedes.
Partner 04
Hydcab
Hydcab focuses on hydraulic components for heavy-duty vehicles, investing continually in research and development to stay at the forefront of the field. An integrated, self-sufficient production facility lets them manufacture the major components in-house.
Every assembled product is quality and performance controlled before being packed and distributed. Their three main product groups are cabin hand-tilt pumps, cabin tilting cylinders and cabin latches.
Identification & cross-reference
