Together, we’re making roads safer 🚧 Thanks to support of the Slow Down, Move Over campaign, we’ve raised more than $100,000 and sold more than 26,000 t-shirts to benefit the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and the International Tow Museum Wall of the Fallen Memorial. The funds raised will outfit five tow trucks with LED Safety Lights, protecting roadside safety workers.

Stronger customer relationships start with better service. With NAPA TRACS, you can personalize every visit, stay ahead of issues, and keep customers in the loop with timely updates. It’s all about delivering care that keeps them coming back.

The Men Wear Pink campaign for breast cancer awareness is in full swing at Genuine Parts Company and NAPA! Proud to stand with two of our executives that are supporting this cause.

From driver to Senior Regional Director, Derek's journey at NAPA Auto Parts is nothing short of inspirational!   Derek started his NAPA career in 2005 at our Sacramento Main location, where he kicked off his career as a delivery driver and counter salesman. Fast forward to today, and Derek Sasabuchi is now leading the charge as our Senior Regional Director – Sales & Store Operations in LA. His path to success was marked by his unwavering dedication and relentless hard work. Derek's time in San Diego saw him taking on diverse roles in our Distribution Center operations, excelling in the Executive Management Trainee program, and stepping up as Office/Inventory Control Manager and then Service Manager. His dedication didn't go unnoticed, earning him numerous internal awards, including the prestigious President’s Award team in 2014 during his time in the Hawaii Distribution Center.   Derek's story is a true testament to the opportunities for growth and development at NAPA, and we couldn't be prouder to have him on our team. Let's celebrate Derek's journey and the support that NAPA provides to all its employees as they build their careers. #TeamNAPA #LifeAtGPC #Leadership

Growing its global footprint, GPC expanded its automotive business overseas in 2013, with the purchase of GPC Asia Pacific – a business with its own rich heritage that now spans over a century. The story began in post-World War I Melbourne, when Geoffrey Russell identified a growing need to make replacement parts. In a tin shed in Collingwood, Victoria, Russell opened a small factory trading under the name Automotive Grinding Company. From here, Russell supplied replacement parts for American and British motor cars. In early 1928, Russell and Alan Murton added a new string to their bows, designing patterns and molds to cast pistons in Melbourne. They established a foundry on Mary Street, North Melbourne for this purpose, registered as Piston Casting Co. Russell needed a way to distinguish the Melbourne-made pistons from imports. Borrowing from common practice of the time, Russell took the first letters of his company name and added ‘co’ to the end. The new pistons were stamped R-E-P-C-O, standing for Replacement Parts Co. Thus began the Repco story. Repco’s brand stands for ‘Authenticity’, derived from having quality products that have earned customer trust for over 100 years. The partnership with GPC has positioned Repco with sheer scale, world-class information and logistics systems and financial capacity to significantly accelerate planned growth in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. The partnership has further powered Repco’s ability to get the right products to the right place at the right time at competitive prices. GPC Asia Pacific now offers several iconic brands, including Repco and NAPA Auto Parts, and is the largest automotive aftermarket parts distributor in Australasia with 550 stores and having amassed $1.5 billion in annual sales. Now that’s genuine growth driven by genuine, partnership, care and excellence. #GPCHistory #LifeAtGPC #GenerationsofGPC
