Krone Trailer and the winkler Group have agreed on a strategic collaboration in the field of original spare parts. The aim of the cooperation is to make the distribution of original Krone spare parts – including components such as underride protection systems – even more customer-oriented and comprehensive in future. The availability of original Krone spare parts via the winkler distribution network is to be gradually expanded.

With winkler as its new distribution partner, Krone gains one of the leading wholesalers of commercial vehicle spare parts in Europe. Around 1,700 employees at over 40 locations and three of the largest central warehouses for commercial vehicle parts in Europe guarantee fast, reliable and professional supply – both for workshops and fleet operators.

‘The partnership with winkler is a logical step towards strategically expanding our spare parts distribution and significantly increasing the availability of our original parts on the market,’ says Ralf Faust, Managing Director of Service at Krone Trailer. ‘In future, our customers will benefit from even shorter delivery times, a proven logistics network and the extensive consulting expertise of the winkler teams.’

winkler also sees the collaboration as forward-looking. ‘With Krone, we are expanding our wide range with high-quality original spare parts from one of Europe's leading trailer manufacturers, which will benefit our customers across Europe,’ emphasises Mr. Dannhäuser, Sales Director of the winkler Group.
