Dear Partner,
2026 marks a significant milestone for SSF as we 
celebrate our 50th anniversary. We are deeply grateful 
to reach this point and to continue applying the 
experience we’ve gained over the years to be the best 
organization and parts supplier we can be.
Anniversaries often invite reflection on the many 
changes and developments from the early days. While 
it is always important to remember the past, it does not 
always offer clear direction for the future. 
It may be more relevant to focus on the parts that didn’t 
change since they are fundamentals for past, current, 
and future success. And by paying ample attention to 
those, the risk of blindly following the “Zeitgeist” can 
be avoided.
While the future is always uncertain, we can promise 
that these SSF fundamentals will remain constant: 
1. We are a highly specialized niche supplier for 
European 
car 
parts, 
supplying 
dedicated, 
specialized European repair shops. To do this best, 
we will continue to focus on the European car park 
exclusively.
2. We don’t take shortcuts. When industry-standard 
solutions fall short of our expectations, we remain 
committed to doing things the SSF way. 
3. As a parts supplier, our role is essential in 
supporting the success of our customers’ business. 
Building close, personal relationships is critical to 
truly understanding and meeting their needs.
We would not be where we are today without the trust 
and support of our customers and suppliers. Your 
partnership has enabled our growth and helped us 
weather the storms over the past 50 years. We are who 
we are because of you and we Thank You for that.
To the next 50 successful years together!
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Beer
CEO
TO THE NEXT 50 YEARS:
