SEG Automotive is bringing its “renowned manufacturing competence and OE quality” to the automotive aftermarket in North America with comprehensive coverage, the company announced.

announced the acquisition of BOSCH’s starter and alternator OEM factories worldwide. It represents more than 100 years of tradition of innovations in rotating electrical products, and SEG Automotive continues its heritage as a leading OEM supplier of new starters and alternators. These innovations also include the first start/stop system, and highly flexible solutions for hybrid vehicles and high voltage e-drives, according to the company.  

Now the company continues to expand its aftermarket business in North America.

“We are excited to announce that our current aftermarket portfolio for starters and alternators is reaching 1,300 SKUs, and this just this month we launched an additional 180 new SKUs to our that existing portfolio that include the highest OEM Tier 1 quality with unassailable reliability,” said David Manor, the director of sales for SEG Automotive North America. “In fact, our aftermarket products are manufactured on our OE lines with the exact same quality standards and components.”

SEG’s product offering is supported by a dedicated business unit with localized production in Lerma, Mexico, and distribution warehouses in Mexico and the United States that provide best-in-class customer service, logistics, quality and coverage for the North American aftermarket, according to the company.

“We will continue to invest in expanding our portfolio in 12-volt, 24-volt and 48-volt applications to further strengthen our market coverage and to become one of the most relevant aftermarket suppliers in the USA, Canada, and Mexico,” said Roberto Weiler, president of SEG Automotive the Americas.   “Our organization has made a commitment to be the last man standing for starters and alternators both for the OEM business and the aftermarket. This guaranteed product and application coverage for today and the future adds another dimension to our role as a reliable partner for our aftermarket customers.”

Most people have an SEG Automotive product in their car or commercial vehicle and don’t even know it.

The global supplier of starter motors, alternators and components for electrification powers more than 300 million vehicles on the road today.

Almost all automotive OEMs worldwide, including major U.S. brands, rely on SEG Automotive’s global production network – with more than 7,000 employees on six continents. The supplier’s portfolio covers a variety of product segments, from passenger cars and light trucks, commercial vehicles and farm and agricultural vehicles to construction and industrial applications.

The evening ended with a dinner and vendor expo.

      Day two of the Automotive Parts Services Group 2025 conference began with remarks from top industry leaders.
      Sue Godschalk, CEO of Federated Auto Parts, Robert Roos, CEO of The Pronto Network, and JC Washbish, President and CEO of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, welcomed attendees. They discussed the size of The Group and its supported initiatives.

      The Group National Conference Unites Aftermarket Leaders
      By Counterman
      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.
