We’re proud that our hard work has been recognised by Trends Supergazelle.
APF Autoparts keeps the world moving with more than 15 million car parts for sale. Our specialists always make sure that customers get the right parts at the best price. Jürgen Sonck founded APF Autoparts in his garage exactly 25 years ago. Initially, the focus was on parts from Asian car brands. Since then, the company has become a truly household name in the automotive industry. Bodywork companies and independent garages worldwide have been buying their car parts from us for years. With offices in six countries and operating in more than 35 countries, APF Autoparts has established itself as a true global player.
APF Autoparts offers a wide range of no fewer than 15 million parts, with 55 brands of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts and 78 brands of OES (Original Equipment Supplier) parts. It is a range that is constantly evolving to meet all of our customers’ possible needs. APF Autoparts has certainly not stood still since being recognised by Trends Supergazelle in 2021.
This year, our company achieved a well-deserved place in the Financial Times’ top 1000 ranking of fastest-growing companies. With some planned innovations and expansions on our agenda, an exciting time lies ahead for our company.
In 2022, APF Autoparts moved into a high-tech new building on the N42 in Zottegem in Belgium. This new location provides a storage capacity of 15,000 m² and allows us to keep more common items in stock and to offer better service to our customers. Efficiency is at the heart of the new warehouse.
Now, two years later, a new expansion is on our agenda. Thanks to our company’s rapid growth in both our customer base and our range, we have plans to set up a second warehouse next to the current one. More space will allow us to stock a wider range of products and permit us to respond more flexibly to our customers’ needs. The first stone will be laid soon; commissioning is planned for mid-2025. The expansion will prioritise better service for our customers and partners.
APF is also constantly innovating in the field of IT infrastructure to make our ordering process easier for customers. With the wide range of products on the market, it isn’t always easy for customers to find the right parts. That is why it is crucial that we maintain an intelligent search engine and communication platform. This platform, combined with the APF search team’s expertise, allows us to guarantee an ‘immediately correct’ rate of almost 100%.
