Saleri and NPW water pumps have been added to the Basco Wholesale portfolio

Basco Wholesale says it “continues to set the pace in Australia’s aftermarket by delivering exactly what professional installers demand: premium-quality components backed by global manufacturing credibility.”
“With the introduction of Saleri and NPW to our water pump lineup, we reinforce our role as the go-to supplier for resellers and trade partners, now stocking the largest range of OE-grade water pumps from the world’s most trusted brands,” Basco Wholesale General Manager, Will Lucas, said.

Saleri: OE innovation, global manufacturing excellence
Basco says Saleri is a name that resonates across Europe’s automotive elite.
“As an OE manufacturer for makes such as BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ferrari, and Maserati, Saleri has spent over 70 years developing advanced cooling systems for the world’s most technically demanding vehicles,” Will said.

• OE-grade certification: Saleri’s aftermarket pumps are built to the exact specifications of their OE counterparts — same materials, same performance.
• Global manufacturing network: production spans across Europe and other ISO-certified sites to maintain quality while ensuring scalability.
• Mechanical and electronic compatibility: from conventional belt-driven pumps to intelligent electronic versions for start-stop and hybrid systems, Saleri covers it all.
• Rigorous testing: every pump undergoes end-of-line testing for pressure, leakage, flow rate, and dimensional tolerances.
“Whether you’re servicing a German performance car or a high-output Italian engine, Saleri delivers the OE experience without the OE price tag,” Will said.
