Uni-Select Inc.’s Bumper To Bumper Announces Acquisition Of Pacific Parts

Uni-Select Inc., has announced that one of its subsidiaries has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Pacific Parts Ltd. with two locations in the greater Vancouver area.

Pacific Parts has been a member of Uni-Select since 1995. This family-owned automotive parts supply store first opened in 1952. The more than 20 professionals who have helped build a strong reputation and market position in the Vancouver area will continue to provide quality products and superior service under the Bumper to Bumper – Canada’s Parts People store banner.

“The addition of these two locations to our network is fully aligned with our goal of building density in key markets, accelerating growth and maintaining our leadership position in the Canadian automotive aftermarket,” said Gary O’Connor, president and chief operating officer, Automotive Canada.

“Pacific Parts is a terrific addition to the Bumper to Bumper store group. We will continue to add further store locations to complement our very strong network of independent jobbers,” said Henry Buckley, president and CEO of Uni-Select.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
