What is the difference between genuine CASE parts and aftermarket parts?

Genuine CASE and CNH parts are designed, specified and supplied for CASE construction equipment. They are generally recommended when correct fitment, machine compatibility, factory specification and support are important.

Aftermarket parts are parts supplied outside the original equipment manufacturer channel. They may be suitable for some applications, particularly selected wear parts or service items, but suitability depends on the machine, component and operating requirements.

Genuine CASE parts are often preferred for critical systems such as hydraulics, drivetrain, electrical components and machine-specific parts. Aftermarket parts may be considered where the part type, application, availability and customer requirements make them suitable.

The right choice depends on the part, machine and application. MIMICO can help confirm what options are available and suitable.
