Automex is an automotive parts manufacturer and retailer in the UK. Since 1975, the company has produced copper brake pipe sets. These sets were quite popular before the Second World War, and then they all but disappeared, mostly due to the high cost of copper.
But what the founders of Automex somehow knew is that owners of luxury vehicles and sports cars would be willing to pay a slight premium for superior performance. That is why they make products for specific luxury vehicles like the Jaguar XK120 and the Messerschmitt FMR TG500.
Early success gave the company the confidence and the funds they needed to expand their product line over the next few years. By 1980, Automex was producing copper coils and copper nickel piping in a wide variety of sizes. Almost three decades later, the little company has expanded its operations and is now selling goods everywhere in the world on the internet. Their website, Automotex.co.uk , is one of the company’s prime sources of income.
Since the company produces products for a limited number of vehicles, the internet has been a godsend as it has given them the ability to connect with buyers all over the world. Affordable international shipping means that Automex can ship its wares almost anywhere in the world and still make a tidy profit.
In recent years, the company has expanded its line to include products that are required by all drivers. For example, there silicon brake fluid is a marked improvement over traditional polyglycol brake fluid. Not only does it last a lifetime and never needs to be changed, but it also virtually eliminates the chance of a car fire.
