In a year filled with so many challenges, hiccups, and shortages, FCP Euro was proud to be partnered with so many great companies that continued to support us through it all. Our partner awards are an opportunity to recognize those who go above and beyond servicing not only our customers but our company. As we’ve done in every iteration of our Partner Awards, our teams get together from several departments to discuss and debate those partners who stood out to us over the past year. Because this organization is built with the help of so many great partners, choosing just one winner for each category was a difficult task.
FCP Euro was fortunate to have a successful year in 2021. So many other businesses struggled to function at a normal capacity while they continued on their growth trajectory. That growth could not be achieved without some help and precise planning. Thankfully, FCP Euro was able to have Bosch as a leading partner. A global leader in automotive parts manufacturing, their components are used by every major supplier today. It was with their guidance and support that FCP Euro was able to double their business dealings together and ensure their customers were never without any Bosch manufactured products, and because of that, FCP Euro proudly presents Bosch with their 2021 Partner of the Year Award.
As the producer of parts for just about every major European brand, Bosch has been a part of FCP Euro sales since its inception, but it wasn’t until 2011 that they officially partnered. In the last ten years, FCP Euro has worked tirelessly to expand business and provide more customers with quality parts coupled with an unbeatable guarantee. In that time, the company has worked with Bosch to carry as many SKUs as possible to reach the largest spread of automotive consumers. All of that success led to a 2020 meeting between the Presidents of FCP Euro and Bosch North America to put a plan together for how both would achieve substantial growth in 2021.
With FCP Euro’s 2021 strategy in place, the company began executing immediately in the new year and the two continued to work together with quarterly business reviews and multiple visits to the FCP Euro headquarters. Because of the partnership and accountability from both sides, FCP Euro was able to more than double their year-over-year purchases. As 2022 rolls on, FCP Euro and Bosch will continue to set aggressive goals, challenge each other, put their heads together to solve problems, and navigate a turbulent supply chain to bring FCP Euro’s customers the best automotive replacement parts, quickly and efficiently.
