Why you should have an Autobar stand


Autobar is best known for its substantial range of automotive parts including bulbs, switches, relays and fitted consumables, making it the ideal brand for the workshop.

Whatever fixing is needed, Autobar is the go-to supplier for many. Its range includes fasteners and hardware, tubing and joiners, cables, clamps, fuses, grommets, hoses and hundreds more.

With 1,396 references, the products are packaged in single or small quantity consumer packs for retailers, meaning large margins for small items.

However, with a range this big, with many of the products being so small, it can be difficult to display them effectively. Yet, Autobar offers a host of retail displays to suit different needs.

For example, its bestselling retail display is its rotational stand with four sides that holds more than 150 of Autobar’s best selling products, including switches, battery terminals, hoses, fuses, tapes, hose clips and connectors, and only takes up two feet of floor space.

There are also other options, such as a wall rack or four sided freestanding display unit. Factors and retailers are also able to customise their stands to what they want, so if they want a smaller wall rack, they can.

With such small and relatively inexpensive products, it can be more of a hassle to order just one product, so having a stand with Autobar’s consumables creates a new sales opportunity as some workshops may buy a variety of products to store in their business to save time and make it more convenient for their technicians.

JRP is the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for Autobar, with all its products stored in a 60,000 sqft warehouse and office in Chichester. JRP supplies more than 5,000 market leading products to various markets, with its core business focusing on the automotive sector.
