Aftermarket industry players Katzkin Leather Inc. and Webasto Product North America have combined their sales organizations.

Katzkin is the largest provider of aftermarket interiors in the world, Webasto a global leader in factory-fitted and aftermarket sunroofs.

The newly expanded Katzkin sales team is the single point of contact for both companies' product lines. Car dealers and restylers will benefit from increased access to a larger range of complementary products and packaging options, say the companies.

“Our two great companies have come together in a way that positions both companies for significant growth,” says Michael Lee, Webasto's general manager-car and light truck division.

“Katzkin and Webasto have been natural allies in the industry for years,” says Katzkin CEO Brooks Mayberry. “The combined sales team will provide unparalleled service to the restyling industry.”

Collectively, WPNA and Katzkin have over 2000 authorized dealers servicing new and used car dealerships in North America.
