With 30 years in the coach and bus sector, Northampton-based FCL Organisation has no difficulty attracting show visitors to its stand. It made doubly sure by enlisting the help of Jo’s Coffee To Go, a mobile unit rumoured to have offered “the best chocolate drink in the whole of the NEC.”
It was a stand of two halves with Jo’s outlet fronting a mock-up of a pavement café on one side while a conventional display on the other showed the serious side of the business.
FCL is a distributor and manufacturer of OEM aftermarket filtration technology, batteries, lubricants, coolants and components, while, under the Filtration Control banner, it manufactures and distributes engine filtration components and battery technology.
Although not on display at EBE, friction products will be added to FCL’s extensive portfolio from next year. MD Stacy Trewin told routeone that the move was inspired by developments in the organisation’s automotive arm. A range of brake shoes and pads will be on offer.
