Car manufacturers' choice

Brink is the first choice of many car manufacturers. Our collaboration is very extensive. We contribute to their innovation, design and construction process and guarantee they receive reliable and high-quality products that can easily be integrated into their cars. Brink is in liaison with many vehicle manufacturers during the design phase of a new car.

Difference between AM and OE

OE stands for original equipment. In OE projects, we cooperate intensively with the car manufacturer. The development process for an OE towbar starts at the source, during the design phase of a new car. Aftermarket parts can be produced by manufacturers that were not involved with original sales, therefore aftermarket parts also have a much wider range of qualities. With Brink, you are always certain of premium quality and a perfect fit. Our development process for Brink branded aftermarket towbars start with a 3D scan of the car, as our towbars are always developed specifically for each vehicle. Brink is the perfect partner for you, whether it is an OE or AM project.
