Genuine Parts Company

Genuine Parts Company (GPC) is a global service organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in the distribution of automotive and industrial replacement parts and value-added solutions. Established in 1928, the company's mission is to be more than just a parts provider, focusing on understanding customer challenges, offering solutions that enhance their businesses, empowering its employees, operating with integrity, and creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

GPC operates through two primary business segments: the Automotive Parts Group and the Industrial Parts Group. The Automotive Parts Group, widely recognized by its NAPA Auto Parts brand, distributes automotive replacement parts, accessories, and service items across North America, Europe, and Australasia, serving both professional repair facilities and individual consumers. The Industrial Parts Group, operating under the Motion brand, provides industrial bearings, power transmission equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and related supplies and services to maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers in various industries throughout North America and Australasia.

In recent leadership changes, Will Stengel assumed the role of CEO and President, and was appointed Chairman in January 2026, succeeding Paul Donahue, who transitioned to Executive Chairman in 2024 and plans to retire from the board in 2026. A significant development for the company was the announcement in February 2026 of its plan to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies—Global Automotive and Global Industrial—a transaction targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2027. Genuine Parts Company maintains a strong market position, consistently ranking among the top global distributors in both the automotive aftermarket and industrial parts sectors, and is recognized as an S&P 500 component with a long history of consistent dividend increases.
