FK company tour

FK Automotive is one of the leading, if not one of the leading companies for sports car accessories in Europe.



In 1991 the FK was founded. After only a few years, the company at that time was No. 2 for the mail order business for sporty car accessories . Initially, the mail order business offered and sold the products of almost all well-known names at the time in a thick catalog. 1996  The development of our own lowering springs in "wedge shape" began, which at that time were sold under the name of wedge-shaped springs. After the great interest, the trademark "FK" was registered in 1997 and the FK articles were born.

In 1998 the mail order business was sold to a competitor in order to be able to concentrate completely on "FK" products.

After the wedge-shaped springs, the development of the other FK products was then stepped up, so that after 10 years, FK not only offers one of the largest TÜV-tested delivery programs for coilovers and suspension technology, but also many other products.

A brief overview of the FK success story

The year 1998
The mail order company is sold and the Automotive GmbH was founded. Sales of the already existing and introduced FK products of the same name - including CNC production & development department - will be taken over.

The year 2000
FK Automotive moves into the new building consisting of a logistics building, CNC production, sales and administration offices in Backnang. The expansion begins. Annual sales increases of 50% and more are not uncommon.

The year 2002
FK Automotive is expanding the existing new building with another logistics building and almost doubling the storage capacity.

The year 2004
FK Automotive receives the sponsorship award from the State of Baden Württemberg & the L-Bank.

The year 2005
FK Automotive exceeds a turnover of 30 million euros and is forced to expand further in logistics. A production hall with a size of 8,000 square meters was also rented from which a large part of the shipping activity was carried out.

The year 2006
FK Automotive continues to increase sales and is slowed down on April 5, 2006 by the major fire in the rented production hall. But even this doesn’t stop and the management now finally decides to bundle all locations and to equip this location with the most modern fire protection measures accordingly. Today the new building with a storage capacity of approx. 13,000 pallets has a self-extinguishing sprinkler system with a water supply of 800,000 liters.

The year 2008
FK Automotive lays the foundation stone for the expansion on the adjoining 60,000 square meter property, which also offers plenty of space for further future expansions. The logistics center will be equipped with the latest fire protection measures and one of the largest photovoltaic systems in the Stuttgart area. It was originally planned to move in in September 2008, but this could not be met due to the long delay of the general contractor. So the move in November / December 2008 was made and completed in time for the 2009 season
 
The year 2009
FK Automotive has one of the most modern and largest logistics centers in the industry with over 16,000 pallet spaces. All over the world, orders are now sent daily, updated on a daily basis. Thanks to a complex shipping system, FK Automotive is now able to send mostly all orders that arrive by 1:00 p.m. on the same day by 5:00 p.m., so that most of the customers receive the desired and ordered products on the following working day. Speed, service and effective economic work are now possible on the 60,000 square meter property with a usable area of 12,500 square meters.
Driven to offer you maximum service and a good price-performance ratio, we will continue to improve in the future.
 
The year 2010
FK Automotive sets the course for success. The ecommerce / online shop replaces the annual catalog. Up to 50,000 articles can be ordered online in the shop at any given time. Up to 2,000 orders are processed daily via our own logistics facility with over 14,000 square meters and the most modern technology.
 
The year 2011
FK Automotive decides to switch to a new e-mail communication system, a new merchandise management system and a new online shop system. The time has come at the end of March. The open heart surgery is performed and after initial difficulties that are to be expected, the systems start to significantly improve the service. A "live customer account" is now available to each customer, in which the order history can be viewed, cancellations and partial deliveries can be made "live". In addition, parcel tracking can now also be carried out live.
FK is now starting to prove itself as a dropshipping supplier. The FK company starts with a unique B2B portal in which the customer can send the products directly to their own customers across Europe via FK Logistik. This means that retailers do not have to maintain an expensive warehouse. FK is now starting to work with well-known and well-known brand manufacturers and offers a large number of brands under the umbrella of FK Automotive. A complete success after a short time!
