“Now the wheat is separated from the chaff,” said Prost. “We are a reliable partner. We don’t have an answering machine and none of our customers receive an automatically generated response to an e-mail. Personal, committed service – that’s all that counts.”

“I can rely 100 percent on my 1,000 men and women. For this, they have my heartfelt gratitude! I would also like to thank our customers and partners for their special loyalty! We were only able to achieve these record sales together. This is a team effort.”

“We stand out. And that’s the way it should be,” explained Prost. “Not only we, but above all the workshops and retailers who generate sales with our products, benefit from our enormous campaign. We provide supporting fire, so to speak.

“We have always built-up reserves to be able to act in difficult times. And that’s exactly what we are doing now.”
