who owns repco in australia Page 3

Repco in Australia is owned by GPC Asia Pacific, the local arm of Genuine Parts Company—yes, the NAPA outfit from the States. In plain English: your spark plugs and oil filters ultimately roll up to a very large, very well-organised parts empire. GPC acquired Repco’s parent (then called Exego Group) and folded it under the GPC Asia Pacific banner. Day to day, Repco still runs its own stores and trade network across Australia and New Zealand, so the logo on the receipt is the same even if the boardroom isn’t. Handy for parts availability, less handy if you were hoping it was run by your uncle’s mate Dave.
