Genuine Parts Company

Genuine Parts Company (GPC), established in 1928, is a leading global distributor of automotive and industrial replacement parts and value-added solutions. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, GPC operates through two primary business segments: the Automotive Parts Group and the Industrial Parts Group.

The Automotive Parts Group is renowned for its NAPA Auto Parts brand, which distributes a comprehensive range of automotive replacement parts, accessories, and service items across North America, Europe, and Australasia.

This segment serves a diverse customer base, including automotive repair shops, service stations, car dealerships, and individual vehicle owners.

In 2024, GPC expanded its presence by acquiring Motor Parts & Equipment Corporation (MPEC), the largest independent owner of NAPA Auto Parts stores in the U.S., adding 181 locations across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

The Industrial Parts Group, represented by Motion Industries in North America and Mi Asia Pacific in Australasia, distributes industrial parts and related supplies to maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.

This segment offers a wide array of products, including bearings, belts, hoses, power transmission components, and other industrial parts essential for various industries.

In 2024, GPC's Industrial Parts Group reported revenue of $3.57 billion in the first quarter, contributing significantly to the company's overall performance.

GPC's global footprint spans over 10,700 locations across 17 countries, supported by more than 63,000 employees.

The company's operations are primarily divided into two main segments: the Automotive Parts Group, best known for its NAPA Auto Parts brand, and the Industrial Parts Group, operating under the Motion Industries banner.

GPC serves customers in North America, Europe, and Australasia through an extensive network of stores, distribution centers, and service locations, focusing on quality, customer service, and operational excellence.

In addition to its core operations, GPC has a history of strategic acquisitions to enhance its market position. For instance, in 2016, GPC acquired AMX Superstores and Auto-Camping, further expanding its reach in the automotive parts sector.

These acquisitions have enabled GPC to strengthen its presence in key markets and offer a broader range of products and services to its customers.

GPC's commitment to quality and customer service has solidified its position as a leader in the automotive and industrial parts distribution industry.

The company's extensive network and diverse product offerings continue to meet the evolving needs of its global customer base.
