A team player – Moving forwards together
We firmly believe that partnerships and collaborations can help the company and its people along. After all, entering into such collaborations means being willing to learn and continuing to develop further.
This is why we have been involved in various partnerships and initiatives – such as the TecAlliance and “Quality is Added Value” – for so many years.

TecAlliance
We have been a brand partner and shareholder of TecAlliance, the leading online platform for the independent automotive aftermarket, since 1996 and 2000 respectively. Where orders, availability, delivery dates and accounting of parts is concerned, there is no better alternative. After all, solid master data are the basis for every business process.
We have entered into additional partnerships with Partslife, VREI, ATR, Groupauto and Temot International. These are collaborations which not only help our company to move forwards, but from which our customers and end consumers can benefit above all.

Quality is Added Value
We are a partner in the initiative “Quality is Added Value”. All too often, the automotive sector has been guided by stinginess because consumers prefer their repairs and spare parts to be cheap. Yet this approach is very short-sighted; after all, vehicle breakdowns result in significant added costs on the part of workshops and customers alike.
Together with a series of renowned manufacturers, we have set ourselves the aim of putting high product quality at the very forefront of our business. We advocate a radical rethink in the automotive sector: in favour of high product quality, higher safety and customer satisfaction. You can find more information, current topics, risks and case studies at www.qualitaet-ist-mehrwert.de.

A tradition of social commitment
Herth+Buss has been actively involved in social and charitable projects for years. We are conscious of our responsibility as a large, family-owned company, and it is our privilege to meet this obligation in the form of various commitments. We actively contribute to charitable foundations outside the company in addition to running in-house fundraising campaigns, including at Christmas.
As such, we are a long-standing member of the charity TEILEn e.V., we actively support needy children and sponsor the racing team of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
In the following section, we want to give you an overview of these projects which are so close to our heart:

Children in need campaigns by the Peter Maffay Foundation
Since 2012, most of the players in the automotive parts and workshop sector have been actively involved in the charity TEILEn e.V. Over 60 well-known companies joined forces to collectively keep children safe in traffic through various projects.
We organise a range of fundraising campaigns with this association. To honour this commitment, we handed out more than 35,000 free road safety items to children in over 1,000 independent automotive workshops. In the course of this campaign, free high-visibility safety vests and collars, signal armbands and bike reflectors were also distributed to drivers. By doing so, we hope to make an active contribution to the safety of children in traffic.
Other initiatives that we support alongside TEILEn e.V. include the foundation F.A.Z.-Leser helfen and the museum MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main.

Formula Student sponsorship
Speed, outstanding quality and reliability are three of Herth+Buss’ core areas of expertise. Students from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts also heard about this and asked for our support. They are members of a racing team whose members work together to build racing cars for the Formula Student contest. So far, they have designed and built a formula racing car with a combustion engine and another electric vehicle. We supplied the racing team with components to manufacture and fit out its vehicles.
