Sanel NAPA will be purchasing eight additional NAPA stores – three in New Hampshire, four in Maine and one in Massachusetts.

Sanel NAPA also will continue to give back to the communities it serves. Sanel NAPA takes pride in giving back and will continue to support community organizations throughout northern New England, local charities and local sports teams.

“Sanel NAPA is the same great company, with the same valued employees and forward-thinking mission, with the ‘Know How’ our customers expect,” said David Segal, president of Sanel NAPA.

“It’s a natural fit for Sanel and NAPA to come together. Each are strong brands with an over 90-year legacy of quality, excellence and service,” said Gregg Sargent, eastern division vice president for Genuine Parts Co.’s U.S. Automotive Parts Group. “Customers will benefit from NAPA’s breadth and depth while continuing to enjoy the local service and attention they have come to expect from Sanel.”

“Partnering with NAPA will launch us into the future, creating unity, strength and a collective focus on our family’s philosophy of having a positive culture, strong work ethic and passion for providing auto parts, heavy-duty truck parts, paint and body shop supplies, and now, tools, equipment and farm and marine supplies to our customers,” said Bobby Segal, CEO of Sanel NAPA.
