Buy Genuine”: a fight against spare parts counterfeit market,
unauthorized manufacturers and sellers.
SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile
Manufacturers) laid the foundation of the Anti Counterfeiting Group (ACG)
teaming up with all the major auto players in the industry. The
ill-effects of fake spare parts in the auto-parts market has been a primary
cause of concern, and ACG is taking steps to halt the manufacturing and
distribution of fake parts by educating customers. The newly launched ACG
microsite and campaign will emphasize customer awareness, validation methods,
packaging updates and other best practices to detect fake products.
Over the last few years, SIAM has seen a tide of counterfeit
parts-original labeled products entering the local marketplace, and making
their way to the consumers. The SIAM Anti Counterfeit Group strongly
believes that educating consumers is vital in fighting the fake spare parts
business. Their online campaigns will focus on reaching out to existing and
potential consumers and involve them with the cause.
Announcing the campaign Mr.R S Kalsi, Executive Director- Vehicle Dispatch, Parts
& Accessories, SIAM ACG said, ‘The counterfeit spare parts market is not
being considered as seriously as any other product fake products market.
Therefore fake auto part manufacturers are taking advantage of the consumers’
ignorance. Introducing our Campaign is a small step to create awareness about
this phenomenon.’
The SIAM Anti Counterfeit Group will
also hold activities during Auto Expo- The Motor Show 2014 at India Expo Mart,
Greater Noida to promote this campaign.
