US-based Superior Industries says it has entered into a strategic partnership with CMS Cepcor, Europe’s largest manufacturer of aftermarket crusher parts.

For 40-plus years, CMS Cepcor has manufactured premium crusher spares for more than three dozen active and classic brands throughout Europe, according to Superior. The parts manufacturer recently expanded its global footprint when it launched CMS Cepcor Americas.

As part of the agreement, CMS Cepcor Americas will stock, sell and service aftermarket parts throughout North and South America from its US headquarters in Pekin, Illinois. In addition to the greater market, it will work closely with Superior to supply crushing equipment spares to Superior’s growing group of crushing dealers and customers, Superior said.

Doug Parsons, President of CMS Cepcor Americas, said: “We have assembled a talented team of industry veterans who understand what it means to serve customers with high-quality products backed by timely support. Personally, my relationship with Superior goes back two decades and our trust and confidence in each other runs deep. We’re excited to fill a gap in the market where customers are not being supported to the level they require.”

From its headquarters in Morris, Minnesota, Superior Industries supplies bulk crushing, screening, washing and conveying systems for industries like aggregates, mining, bulk terminals, agriculture, power and biomass. In addition to its home plant, Superior operates from five additional US facilities, three in Brazil and two more in Canada.
