WAUCONDA, Ill. — Alltech Automotive has appointed Craig Kerins as vice president of sales. Kerins joins Alltech with more than 10 years of automotive aftermarket sales experience, most recently as director of sales with Robert Bosch. Kerins’ major emphasis will be to extend Alltech’s complete line of hub and bearing assemblies, automotive hydraulics, chassis/suspension/strut and many other parts programs to all distribution channels in the aftermarket, the company said.
Technicians never should substitute an OAD with a solid pulley or a one-way clutch on vehicles that were built with an OAD.
Litens Aftermarket recently introduced its “Reset to OE” campaign messaging, as the market share for OAD pulleys continues to grow, and the need to educate technicians about this component increases.
With virtually one-third of registered vehicles now equipped with a Litens OAD, and as those vehicles enter the aftermarket “sweet spot” for replacement, bringing awareness about how an OAD impacts a belt-drive system is imperative.
