Company
Overview
Who is International Autopart, Inc.?
International Autopart is a global automotive aftermarket parts
supplier devoted to delivering the highest level of quality and
service available in the North American market place. We have two
primary distribution channels. Our North American Sales Division
supports a wholesale customer base across North America, and our
Branch Store Division which consists of over 60 stores across New
England and upstate New York provide unsurpassed service to the
professional installer.
Within our North American Sales Division we offer two distinct
services to our customers. The first service is "Program
Distribution", which meets the needs of those customers requiring
service across the entire range of a product line. This includes a
full range of premium quality parts distributed under the Autopart
International brand name, with coordinated electronic and hard copy
cataloging, on site sales support, a technical hot line, and
marketing and promotional assistance. Our North American Sales
Division also offers an "Inventory Resource" service which provides
parts for most major automotive systems to those customers with more
limited needs. Inventory Resource provides solutions to challenges
our customers face with their pre-existing supply chains such as
inventory fill and competitive limitations.
Our Branch Store Division provides unsurpassed service focused on
the local professional installer. We provide a full breadth of both
traditional and hard to find replacement parts, which we augment
with our extensive sourcing network, thus enabling us to put even
the most obscure of items in your hands in record time. Our
commitment to delighting the professional installer is so entrenched
in our corporate values, that we take pride in performing
extraordinary service for our customers, such as tire deliveries and
lunch pick-ups.
These corporate values find their roots in the company's
independent and enduring leadership. The Company had its start in
1957 when Stephen Patkin, the company's founder and current
Chairman, took a summer job sourcing parts for his family's Fiat,
Renault car dealership. The need for these hard to source parts was
the catalyst for our start in the aftermarket parts business. This
early venture evolved into what is today one of the industry's
fastest growing and most stable companies. We employ over 1000
people, and maintain in excess of 200,000 square feet of triple
height warehousing capacity at our central distribution facility
alone.
Decades of listening intently to our customers, along with our
dedication to quality, integrity, and enduring relationships have
advanced Autopart International to the forefront of aftermarket
parts development and distribution.
