Starting in 2017 for the management of Dealernet’s warehouse in Noventa Padovana and extended in 2019 to the logistics centre in Udine, Gefco maintains the partnership reflects an “important change in the logistics structure of one of the largest car manufacturers in the world.”

Instead of distributing spare parts directly through dealers, new regional logistics platforms were set up to receive spare parts from the parent company and handle distribution to all local dealers, as well as authorised and independent mechanics and installers.

“This renewed partnership strengthens the desire of both companies to confirm their leadership in the spare parts market,” said Country Gefco Italy manager, Fernando Reis Pinto.

“We are helping Dealernet face the numerous challenges presented by this sector every day, helping our customer manage its business day to day and anticipate possible future developments thanks to our know-how in the automotive sector, which has set us apart for over 70 years.”
