Although many people think of the automotive industry first when they hear the phrase “aftermarket parts,” almost every industry has some form of aftermarket presence, and the beverage industry is no exception, says Joseph Stroup, director of business development for FBN Inc., Plainwell, Mich.
“Aftermarket parts refer to parts manufactured by a company other than the [original equipment manufacturer] (OEM),” he explains. “We are unique in that our goal is to improve upon an original design and provide it to our customers at a very competitive price.”
