NTN, the parent company of BCA Bearings, has announced the addition of 12 new product SKUs to the BCA aftermarket product line.

BCA’s May 2022 release includes wheel-hub assemblies for import and domestic applications, and represents premium coverage for more than 3.4 million vehicles in operation, including four first-to-market offerings, according to the company.

“The SKUs included in our May release support our commitment to adding late model coverage and staying ahead of aftermarket demand.” said Rina Dafnis, assistant product manager – automotive aftermarket. “We are first-to-market with four of these 12 new SKUs, which gives BCA and our customer-base a competitive advantage in the aftermarket.”

These new SKUs enhance BCA’s coverage for popular Asian brands, including Nissan/Infiniti, Kia and Honda. On the domestic front, coverage for 1.35 million Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossover SUVs arrives just as these vehicles begin to enter the aftermarket sweet spot for wheel-bearing replacement.

BCA Bearings by NTN is a trusted supplier of OE-quality parts to the automotive aftermarket, providing a constantly expanding full line of premium wheel hubs, bearing and seals for domestic and import applications.

      A Grand Kickoff in National Harbor, Maryland
      The sun glinted off the bay as thousands of automotive aftermarket professionals gathered at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center for the
      link hidden, please login to view (The Group) National Conference in National Harbor, Maryland. The event drew 442 member partners with more than 4,600 one-on-one meetings scheduled throughout the week.
      Leaning into the conference’s theme, “We the People,” attendees were treated to inspiring appearances from unexpected guests, historical reenactors portraying Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. The two “former presidents” entertained the crowd with tales of America’s founding and the importance of fair business practices. Their appearance was followed by a performance from a troupe of “newsies” advocating for national Right to Repair legislation.
      Following the lively kickoff, attendees enjoyed dinner, drinks and the opportunity to explore 150 booths hosted by select vendor partners. The event set the stage for several days of meetings and deal-making.
      Leadership Champions Unity and Innovation
      Jeff Koviak, CEO of
      link hidden, please login to view, underscored the need for collaboration in today’s market. “Now more than ever is a time for shared innovation and collaboration,” Koviak said. “Organizations and people should be looking for creative, mutual opportunities for growth.”
      JC Washbish, president and CEO of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, added that agility remains a key strength for the independent aftermarket.
      “One thing that makes us unique in the independent aftermarket is that we are so nimble and agile and we can react quickly,” Washbish said. “That’s why we’re here this week. Let’s work together and continue to execute on what has made us successful.”
      That flexibility is increasingly important as industry leaders gather just miles from Washington, D.C., amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
      Strength in Numbers and the Power of Partnership
      “It pulls us together as a team. We never want any of our members to feel like they’re fighting anything alone,” said Sue Godschalk, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “We are so much more effective in numbers. We are always eager to share, and we want people to know that we’ve got your best interests at heart, and we’re here for you.”
      Robert Roos, president and CEO of the Pronto Network, echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the power of collaboration in a highly competitive marketplace.
      “We compete with the Big Four retailers, and those guys are tremendous competitors — very good at what they do,” Roos said. “That just requires us to be better at what we do. The more we can bring groups together, whether through mergers, [or] partnerships like our joint venture with APSG, Federated and The Alliance, it’s critical for us to work together, buy together and sell together.”
      The Group’s National Conference runs through May 1, with deals expected to be struck until the final booth closes. Koviak added that while the event ends this week, the follow-up work and opportunity will continue long afterward.

      “The launch of our new Mopar Parts Distribution Center in East Fishkill marks a significant investment in our long-term growth and service capabilities,” said Mopar Senior Vice President for North America Darren Bradshaw. “This facility supports our dedicated UAW-represented workforce with the tools and environment they need to succeed. By integrating cutting-edge technology and automation, we’re strengthening our supply chain, accelerating delivery times and reinforcing our commitment to dealer and customer satisfaction along with employee success.”
      Mopar Parts Distribution Center Capacity and Strategic Positioning
      The 534,000-sq.-ft. facility is strategically located to serve dealerships and customers across the Northeast. It houses over 46,000 unique parts and expects to process more than 2 million shipments each year.
      Boosting Local Economy and Infrastructure
      “The launch of the Mopar Parts Distribution Center is a tremendous boost for East Fishkill,” said Dutchess County Legislator Steve Caswell. “This facility is not just an investment in infrastructure, but in our people, our businesses and our future.

Enhancing Efficiency and Inventory Management
      AutoStore automation boosts speed, accuracy and dependability of order completion. It also reduces the warehouse footprint needed for storing inventory.
      Sustainability and the Mopar Parts Distribution Center
      The East Fishkill Mopar Parts Distribution Center is one of 21 Mopar facilities in North America serving dealers and aftermarket customers. Mopar merged the Tappan and Boston PDCs to reduce the region’s storage footprint. The AutoStore system further decreases the physical space needed at the new East Fishkill location. These efforts support Stellantis’ broader goal of lowering carbon emissions.
