Parts Authority––the Lake Success, New York-based distributor of automotive replacement parts, tools and equipment––has acquired NPW Companies (National Auto Parts Warehouse), the family-owned distributor of traditional, engine and performance parts headquartered in Miami.
The acquisition adds NPW's 46 locations to the Parts Authority network, bringing the combined company to nearly 325 locations and expanding Parts Authority's geographic footprint into five new states.
Founded by Larry Pacey in 1969, NPW built its business on customer relationships, extensive inventory and service, and today brings a catalog of more than one million part numbers from more than 700 brands.
NPW's leadership and team members will join Parts Authority as part of the transaction. Current NPW President and CEO Chris Pacey will continue as president of NPW/EPW while taking on a senior role within Parts Authority. The companies said the combined teams will work to ensure a seamless transition and uninterrupted daily service.
"This is an exciting milestone for NPW, our team and our customers," Pacey said. "I am even more excited that our family will remain part of this journey, contributing to the continued growth and success of both companies as they move forward together."
Clark Hale, CEO of Parts Authority, said NPW's locations complement the company's existing footprint, allowing it to position more inventory closer to customers.
"The Paceys built a remarkable family business, and we intend to honor that legacy," Hale said. "Just as important, the NPW team is at the heart of this acquisition, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the Parts Authority family."
