PATRON brand appeared on the Belarussian auto spare parts market in 2004 and on the Russian market in 2013.

In case of Belarus at that time car fleet mostly consisted of German and partly French and Japanese cars. The share of new foreign cars was very small and did not exceed 3% from the total number of registered foreign vehicles. The purchaser had the opportunity to buy famous brands spare parts or as an alternative to the new parts could buy previously used parts as there were no other options on the aftermarket.

In 2004 the owner of the company Konstantin Shavel has visited Automechanika exhibition for the first time which is held annually in Shanghai. This visit confirmed information on the fact that auto components production in China has already reached a high level at that moment and China leading manufacturers were not inferior to the leading European manufacturers. In 2004 the fundamental decision to create a private brand of Shate-M Plus company was made. It took less than a year from the decision making moment to the moment when PATRON brand products appeared on the warehouse shelves. CV-joints, shock-absorbers were among the first product groups. PATRON brand products started to gain a place on our partners’ shelves.
