Automotive Distribution Network signs first Parts Plus Mexico member
As part of its launch of the Parts Plus Mexico program, the Automotive Distribution Network recently signed into membership Grupo Esquivel Autopartes S.A. de C.V., based in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico, according to Mike Lambert, president of the Automotive Distribution Network.
“After much preparation tailoring a Parts Plus program specifically for markets in Mexico with the help of our manufacturer partners, we are proud to officially announce the addition of Grupo Esquivel Autopartes S.A. de C.V. into membership,” Lambert said. “Parts Plus Mexico will not only greatly expand the Network’s footprint but also enable warehouses and their independent jobber customers in the country to have better purchasing power, enhanced best practices, greater computer technology, and professional marketing programs that will enable them to more effectively compete against the big-box retailers and other competitors.”
A traditional three-step warehouse, Grupo Esquivel Autopartes S.A. de C.V. operates 10 locations in major cities throughout Mexico: Aguascalientes, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Queretaro, Pachuca, Morelia, San Luis Potosi, Leon, Celaya, and Irapuato.
“With several new competitors opening in Mexico, the timing was right to join Parts Plus Mexico to provide our customers with the tools they need to continue to succeed,” said Jorge Esquivel, a third-generation business owner who serves as president and CEO of Grupo Esquivel Autopartes S.A. de C.V.
Operating under the brands of Parts Plus, Parts Plus Mexico, IAPA and Auto Pride, the Automotive Distribution Network is one of the largest, most diverse program groups in the industry.
