Biggest Distribution Network, Behind Your Store
Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. — headquartered in Exeter, Pennsylvania — is the largest distributor and marketer of specialty aftermarket products in North America. The company has grown into a vital link between parts manufacturers and the shops, dealers, and retailers who sell them.
The scale is the point:
-
800+ suppliers, so your catalog isn’t hostage to one brand’s stock
-
2.5 million sq ft of warehouse space across the US and Canada
-
500+ trucks and cross docks moving parts 30 million miles a year
-
40+ countries served, from a single auto parts store to a global operation
As a Keystone dealer, that whole distribution network works for your website — without you holding a single fender.
