📢 Short update from the Association of Automotive Parts Distributors and Producers (SDCM) Congress.   The event provided valuable insights into the latest Automotive market development, upcoming discussions related with European and Polish legislation. I will not summarize everything, but would like to pin point one nice idea presented by Sylvia Gotzen (Chief Executive of Figiefa). Our industry is quite widely called IAM (Independent AfterMarket). When discussing and presenting our industry towards regulators in Brussels, we are quite often compared with OE (Original Equipment). Naturally "Aftermarket" does not sounds good. In reality, the aftermarket represents freedom of choice for the customer. Only in the aftermarket can the customer (driver) choose any service, parts quality, and price. Sylvia proposed a rebranding of our industry's terminology to better reflect its essence: Vehicle Lifetime Solutions Industry (VLSI). I fully support this initiative and encourage you to do the same. Starting today, let’s adopt this new narrative in all our communications. Together, we can redefine how our industry is perceived.

Fully agree! Let‘s make our industry more atractive by renaming into VLSI. This new approach can as well make it more attractive for new talents.
