The manufacturing and trafficking of counterfeit products is a serious problem for the supplier industry.  A wide range of products are being counterfeited, including many safety-related parts, such as brakes and brake pads, brake fluid, tires, structural parts and automotive lighting.
 
In 2004, MEMA created the Brand Protection Council to organize industry action against the problem. In 2011, the Brand Protection Council is being revamped to become the Brand Protection Committee (BPC).  The Committee's May 2011 conference call was a success. 

For more information about the BPC, contact Dan Houton.
