TruStar has created a Box, Book and Building concept that is designed to bring the TruStar member value by giving them one complete brake catalog to take to the streets, promote a brand that TruStar members can market as their own and be able to get multiple TruStar products from one single distribution center. TruStar Graphic Packaging, TruStar Master Brake
Catalog and In an effort to provide our members the best products in a timely and cost reducing manner, TruStar has established the TruStar Distribution Center. Located in Richmond, VA., the distribution center has been well received by current members. The products currently available from the TruStar Distribution Center are packaged in TruStar boxes, except the O2 Sensors. Members can combine orders of these products to meet freight minimums. This saves TruStar members time, money and reduces inventory and increases turns. TruStar has made available a Master Brake Catalog, offering parts from different manufacturers. Selling to installers and looking up parts is easier and less time consuming. This Master Brake Catalog and accompanying CD, allows our members to offer products and programs that are not available to the industry. By creating the TruStar Master Brake Catalog and establishing the TruStar Distribution Center, TruStar provides the most complete brake program in the country. The Box, Book and Building concept was designed to bring value to TruStar warehouse distributors. Value that no other automotive marketing group can provide. This value keeps our members independent and competitive in markets all across the country. If this concept sounds interesting to you, contact TruStar Headquarters for more information at 281-485-9908. Friction Solutions For Every Braking Need!
