Parts supplier First Line has been recognised as a star performer in terms of export sales growth for mid-market private companies in the latest Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 ranking. This is the third time in four years the company has made an appearance making it the most consistent aftermarket supplier in the study.

“To feature in the Sunday Times table for a third time is an amazing achievement for the First Line team, particularly as, by its very nature, it becomes progressively harder to attain a measure based on ‘fastest-growth’ year on year,” said First Line Managing Director, Dan Joyner. “However, it is a reflection of the strength and recognition of the Borg & Beck brand that we have been able to maintain such a strong showing on a consistent basis.” He added, “Due to its OE heritage, we have built Borg & Beck on the Clutch programme, which remains one of our most formidable range of products. However, the brand’s global recognition and association with quality also means that we now enjoy great success with all Borg & Beck product groups such as Braking, Bearings, Cables, Cooling, Filters, Rotating, and of course Steering & Suspension. Combine this with the recently introduced range of commercial vehicle components and it’s clear to see why Borg & Beck is such an attractive proposition across the globe.”
