Product focus 25 www.aftermarketonline.net JULY/AUGUST 2025 European coatings specialist CIN MONOPOL launched its products in the UK at the recent Automechanika Birmingham, marking a major milestone in its international growth strategy. The company, which operates from France, is a leading supplier of industrial paints, coatings, and varnishes for automotive and industrial bodywork applications. CIN MONOPOL showcased five key products, including Cromatic UHS Speed+, its rapid-drying, high-gloss polyurethane clearcoat. Marketing manager Jonathan Frappier said: “From energy-saving UVcured clearcoats to longlasting protective finishes, we’re confident our solutions will resonate strongly with garages, bodyshops and distributors.” www.ecobatbattery.com/applications/electric-vehicle/ https://cin.com/performance-coatings/en https://www.ivorsearle.co.uk/Ecat www.klarius.eu Klarius released 25 new aftermarket emissions control components last May, delivering coverage for more than 1.4 million vehicles in the UK. James Ellison, sales director at Klarius, said the range included components for the Citroën DS3 1.6 Blue HDi (2014-2019). When released, the DS3 brought a welcome dose of style and flair to the compact hatchback segment, Ellison said. Latest components for the model ensure motorists can keep their DS3s running cleanly and efficiently, with all parts meeting or exceeding OE standards. In common with every EV, the ultra-popular pre-2022 Tesla range incorporates a 12V battery. This powers essential low voltage systems such as the lights and the onboard computer and diagnostic systems and plays a role in starting the main high voltage battery pack. Despite EV tech advances, batteries still have a finite lifespan. This is a sales opportunity for garages, particularly when partnering Ecobat Battery, and specifically with pre-2022 Tesla applications. Irrespective of the model, Ecobat includes the OE equipment fitment battery in its extensive range. Automotive remanufacturer Ivor Searle has launched a website e-catalogue capable of looking up vehicle registrations across multiple countries. The launch came after the company reported another record 12-month trading performance, reflecting a further 8% increase on its previous record turnover in 2024. E-Cat is linked to the global TecDoc aftermarket database. Customers can enter vehicle registration details to identify product codes for a specific model and check availability. Commercial director David Eszenyi (pictured) said: “We continue to innovate to support a wider aftermarket community in the UK and internationally.” Citroën DS3 parts feature in Klarius range Ecobat charged up for EVs’ future CIN MONOPOL makes UK coatings debut Ivor Searle unveils ‘E-Cat’ as turnover increases
