Automotive and industrial parts distributor across Asia Pacific
GPC Asia Pacific is a 5,000–10,000-person distributor of automotive, heavy-duty, and industrial parts across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, backed by US-listed Genuine Parts Company. The tech stack reveals a hybrid infrastructure foundation—Stibo STEP for product information management, Azure/AWS/GCP for cloud workloads, ServiceNow for operations, and Workday for HR—paired with active investments in master data governance and ML integration into network operations. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 30 roles posted in the last month, concentrated in sales and ops rather than engineering, suggesting a sales and operational execution phase rather than a platform rebuild.
GPC Asia Pacific operates as a regional distributor and reseller of automotive and industrial aftermarket parts and related services. The business spans two divisions: an Automotive Division running branded wholesale and retail operations (including NAPA Auto Parts, Repco, and Rare Spares), and an Industrial Division (Motion brand) serving the engineering sector with over 10 million parts SKUs across fourteen trusted brands. The company maintains distribution and service infrastructure across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. Current strategic priorities include PIM solution design, master data harmonization across NAPA and Repco catalogues, network platform lifecycle management, and embedded learning initiatives to address capability gaps and reduce workplace injuries.
