What United Pacific Industries does

United Pacific Industries is a privately-held automotive parts manufacturer and distributor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Long Beach, California, with a Dallas-area fulfillment center in McKinney, Texas, and international operations support offices in Taiwan and China. The company operates two core B2B divisions supported by a consumer e-commerce channel. The Heavy-duty Truck Division offers more than 20,000 SKUs of commercial trucking parts and accessories (LED lighting, body panels, electrical components, engine parts, exhaust, collision repair products) for Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, International, Mack, and Western Star platforms. The Classic Car Division offers more than 5,000 precision-engineered SKUs spanning body and sheet metal, chassis and suspension, electrical, engine and drivetrain, exterior and interior trim, towing, wheels, motorcycle accessories, and tools, with award-winning LED lighting products such as sequential tail lights and ULTRALIT headlights.

The business is an authorized OEM licensed manufacturer for both Ford and General Motors (Chevrolet/GMC), enabling OE-style reproduction parts for classic vehicles such as '32 Ford, Early Bronco, classic Mustang, C10 trucks, Camaro, Chevelle, and Tri-Five Chevrolets. Core technology spans LED lighting that combines modern performance with vintage styling, stamped OE-style body panels, and precision-engineered electrical components, all validated through vibration, extreme temperature, water resistance, beam performance, and Ingress Protection testing. Distribution is run through authenticated dealer portals (truck.upauto.com and classic.upauto.com), with 99% of contiguous 48-state orders fulfilled within 24 hours, a 98.5% order fill rate on classic parts, and a stated distribution network spanning over 20 countries. The consumer-facing upcarparts.com e-commerce storefront adds direct-to-consumer sales for classic car enthusiasts alongside the B2B dealer model.

Revenue is derived from one-time product sales of physical automotive parts across the heavy-duty truck, classic car, and motorcycle verticals, with dealer-specific pricing managed through authenticated portal accounts and volume discounts available to dealers. The company has no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, public listing, or institutional investment, and operates as an independent privately-held business. Named customers include restoration shops such as Tre5 Customs and Brizio Street Rods, with the broader customer base consisting of chrome shops, custom truck builders, fleet operations, OEM dealers, parts and service providers, warehouse distributors, internet-only retailers, and individual restoration enthusiasts.
