For aftermarket parts supplier Dorman, research and development are part of its DNA.

Dorman Products new product development manager, Derek Suen, showed off a sampling of some of the new products developed by the company’s R&D department at the November Las Vegas SEMA show. Dorman Products supplies replacement parts to the automotive aftermarket which are often superior to OEM offerings.

Having recently acquired chassis parts manufacturer MAS, Dorman Products now offers three distinct lines of quality replacement chassis parts: MAS, Premium and heavy-duty line Premium RD.

Derek Suen is particularly enthusiastic when discussing the OE FIX product line, comprised of replacement parts engineered by Dorman to help overcome flaws in the initial vehicle manufacturer product design. The innovative solutions used by Dorman Products engineers when designing these replacement parts include consultations with shop technicians.
