Klarius : Operations

The Klarius Group has over 650 employees across Europe, with 3 production facilities,
in the UK, distribution platforms: in the UK, France and Spain; and a research and development facility located in the UK. The technical centre has its own approved test track (the only parts manufacturer to have one) for undertaking type approval of parts. As well as supplying major companies in the aftermarket sector.

As a full range manufacturer of exhaust systems and catalytic converters covering 97% of the European car parc, Klarius is highly reactive to market needs; its design, technical and lean manufacturing facilities providing the mechanism that takes products from initial enquiry to market in a matter of days.

Klarius specialises in supplying to motor factor buying groups that serve the automotive aftermarket; a sector known for its demanding requirements in terms of model variants, price and delivery. Yet despite these demands, Klarius has grown its business consistently, introducing an unprecedented 100 new references a month, and achieving a 98.7% delivery rate across its UK factories. Key to these achievements is recent strategic investment of £1.6M in lean manufacturing, training, new production processes and logistics.
