MEMPHIS, Tenn. Miami-based National Auto Parts Warehouse (NPW) was recently voted into Parts Plus membership under the umbrella of the Automotive Distribution Network, according to Mike Lambert, Network president.
“Parts Plus is a perfect fit for NPW’s Florida warehouse locations as well as for Speed Warehouse, their recent wholesale-operation acquisition in California,” Lambert said. “We look forward to strengthening the Parts Plus brand and market share in Florida, California and surrounding states with NPW.”
Unlike some warehouses that have shifted to two-step distribution, NPW joined Parts Plus as an extension of its commitment to jobbers and their future, according to NPW President and CEO Larry Pacey.
“Our Parts Plus membership complements NPW’s philosophy on providing the jobber with a true partnership and the tools to help ensure their success in today’s competitive environment,” Pacey said. “At NPW and now Speed, we’ve always stuck to our core values of serving the jobber. With Parts Plus, we can offer our jobber customers a strong program that can really help their business and increase their volume, ensuring our mutual success.”
Operating under the brands of Parts Plus, IAPA, Auto Star, Auto Pride, CMB and Network Products, the Automotive Distribution Network is one of the largest program groups in the industry.
