KYB Opens Office in Russia

KYB, the world's largest manufacturer of original equipment shock absorbers, is strengthening its position as a global aftermarket brand with the opening of a new aftermarket sales office in Moscow. Mr Andrey Melnikov has been appointed General Manager of the new branch, KYB Europe Moscow Office.

KYB has also recently received the 'Best Supplier' award from Group Auto Union International CIS. The award was presented to Mr Melnikov by Gerard LeDuc, chief executive of GAUI. He was also given a Matreska, a decorative wooden hand made doll which is Russia's iconic national souvenir.

KYB is continuing to consolidate its position as a leading European aftermarket brand, recently opening a new logistics and distribution centre in France and new commercial office in Dubai to serve the Middle East and Africa.

As well as shock absorbers, KYB supplies a number of automotive components to the aftermarket including coil springs, suspension mounting kits and protection kits.
