About Genuine Parts Co

Genuine Parts Company (ticker: GPC) is a U.S.-listed distribution and commerce name trading on the NYSE in the United States, with a long-standing position in automotive replacement parts and industrial distribution. Founded in 1928 in Atlanta by Carlyle Fraser, the company has grown from a single auto-parts store into a global service provider built around scale, brand strength, and logistics excellence. Its headquarters remain in Atlanta, Georgia, underscoring a stable corporate base for a business that has expanded well beyond its original local footprint. ([genpt.com](https://www.genpt.com/our-companies?utm_source=openai)) GPC operates through two core operating pillars: Automotive and Industrial. In automotive, the company’s flagship NAPA brand is one of the most recognizable names in the North American aftermarket, serving professional repair customers and consumers with a broad assortment of replacement parts, accessories, tools, and maintenance products. In industrial, the Motion brand focuses on diversified industrial distribution and value-added solutions for manufacturing and maintenance customers. The company highlights more than one million parts sold primarily under the NAPA brand, which speaks to both assortment depth and the importance of service-level execution in this industry. ([genpt.com](https://www.genpt.com/our-companies?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Genuine Parts occupies a resilient niche in a fragmented market where distribution density, product availability, and customer relationships matter as much as price. Its scale supports purchasing power, network coverage, and a strong service proposition, particularly for professional repair shops and industrial accounts. Geographically, GPC has a broad footprint across North America, Europe, and Australasia. Its industrial business is described as a leading diversified industrial distributor serving customers across North America and Australasia, while its automotive activities extend across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australasia. This international spread helps diversify demand and reduce reliance on any single end market. ([genpt.com](https://www.genpt.com/our-companies?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments are material for equity investors. In 2025, the company announced a major strategic restructuring to separate its Automotive and Industrial businesses into two publicly traded companies, a move aimed at sharpening strategic focus and improving capital allocation. The 2025 annual report also shows revised segment reporting, reflecting the company’s evolving operating structure. In parallel, GPC continues to be monitored closely through SEC Form 4 insider filings, which provide investors with timely visibility into director and executive ownership changes.
