SharkEye, a UK leading manufacturer of laser wheel aligners, is teaming up with FASEP, the elite Italian garage equipment producer, and auto sector giant Garage Equipment Group (GEG) to offer 33 van-based sales and service franchise investment opportunities across Britain and Ireland.
Together this trio of well-known garage equipment brands promises to be a major new player in the automotive sector.
SharkEye, based near Sheffield, is one of the world’s top wheel aligner manufacturers, exporting its products globally.
FASEP’s customers include Bridgestone and Goodyear: both use FASEP wheel balancers for quality control at their European bases.
GEG, owner of EUROTEK and Platinum, has a +20% share of the UK garage equipment market.
Carl Gibson, Managing Director of SharkEye, said: “This is a unique opportunity to run your own sales and service business with direct, expert backing from three major automotive brands.”
Fabio Boni, Managing Director of FASEP, said: “Our products have earned a reputation over many decades for being the very best in innovation and quality. We’re excited about working closely with franchisees who share our desire for giving customers the highest quality service.”
Carl Allenson, Managing Director of GEG, said: “We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting project to cater more fully for customers’ growing demand for excellence in garage equipment.”
Van-based franchisees on each of the 33 zones will be licensed to sell, install and service SharkEye, FASEP and EUROTEK products. They will enjoy exclusivity on product servicing in their territory, and attractive trade discounts helping make them competitive as product sellers.
SharkEye is currently running a pilot franchise from which it is gleaning data to underpin sales and profit predictions for its franchise zones.
Franchisees will enjoy the daily direct support of the SharkEye central team, which boasts four decades of wheel aligner and garage equipment expertise.
