About

Established in 1928, Genuine Parts Company is a leading global service provider of automotive and industrial replacement parts and value-added solutions. The company serves hundreds of thousands of retail, commercial and industrial customers through its network of renowned brands including NAPA, Motion Industries, UAP, and Alliance Automotive Group. With a remarkable history spanning nearly a century, GPC has grown from a single auto parts store in Atlanta to a Fortune 500 company with operations across North America, Europe and Australasia.

The company's Automotive Parts Group distributes approximately 800,000 different parts through nearly 6,000 NAPA Auto Parts stores in the U.S. and operates across Canada, Mexico, Europe and Australasia. The Industrial Parts Group provides access to more than 18 million replacement parts to over 190,000 MRO and OEM customers across diverse industries. In 2026, GPC announced plans to separate into two independent publicly traded companies to unlock shareholder value and enhance strategic focus. The company has demonstrated exceptional financial discipline, increasing dividends for 70 consecutive years and maintaining its position as the largest global auto parts distributor with combined turnover exceeding $15 billion.
