New brakes for FMSI

FMSI AUTOMOTIVE HARDWARE HAS ACQUIRED THE BRASS & BRAKE ASSETS OF PLEWS & EDELMANN AND THE PURCHASE WILL COMPLEMENT FMSI’S EXISTING BUSINESS.

FMSI Automotive Hardware has manufactured brake, fuel, transmission, AC, and coolant repair lines and fittings for over 30 years.

According to FMSI, with the addition of Edelmann Fittings and Brake Lines, the company will be the industry leader in high-quality, problem-solving automotive fittings and fluid-carrying lines. Customers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to take advantage of two great offerings merged into one source.

Founder and president David Greenwood said: “The addition of Edelmann Brass & Brake, combined with FMSI established programs, continues our commitment to serve all channels of distribution with a comprehensive range of the highest quality products and problem-solving offerings to the automotive aftermarket.”

Dan Billie, CEO of Plews & Edelmann said, “The sale of the fittings business power, ensuring that they can continue to serve their customers during this difficult time. is a direct result of Plews’ focus on providing the total solution to the power steering category. Along with the recent sale of our non-application parts business to Highline Warren, this completes a three-year effort to diversify away from non-application parts categories.”

In addition, the locally owned company is providing a Starlink to the Napier dealership. Starlink will enable the dealership to connect to the internet, re-establish communication with the head office, and allow staff to connect with friends and family. This will provide much needed support to the dealership’s staff during this challenging time.

Hyundai has also provided vehicles to the Student Volunteer Army to mobilise their volunteer response to support those impacted by the cyclone. For more information, visit hyundai.co.nz/extreme-weather-support, or call 0800 498 632.
