Galpa

What Galpa does

Galpa Export Corp is a Miami-headquartered wholesale distributor of HVAC, refrigeration, and appliance parts operating under the Galpa brand since 1969. The company carries thousands of SKUs across more than 100 brands, including Danfoss, Copeland, Emerson, Bitzer, Trane, York, Friedrich, Midea, Whirlpool, GE, LG, and Samsung, organized into five product groups: HVAC/R equipment, HVAC/R parts, OEM appliance parts, refrigerant gases, and an industrial division. Its go-to-market is a self-serve, account-registered e-commerce platform built on PrestaShop with real-time inventory, pricing, cart-building, and integrated shipping and payment, plus a Galpa Club loyalty program and WhatsApp-based customer service (Horacio, GMT+1 hours). Fulfillment is supported by six distribution centers across the USA (two), a Free Zone hub, Mexico, China, and Venezuela, each accessible through a dedicated regional storefront (us, mx, fz, ex, cn, ve).

The platform targets HVAC/R technicians and contractors, independent appliance repair technicians, commercial refrigeration operators, and residential end users across the Americas and select international markets, with quote-based pricing rather than public list prices. Distribution relationships with major OEMs and component manufacturers form the core of the value proposition, supplemented by an educational blog covering HVAC/R topics such as air curtains, air handler units, mini-split systems, refrigeration filters, and solenoid valves. The business model is transactional B2B/B2C parts distribution; the company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or public listing, and no financial figures, funding rounds, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• Carrier Enterprise: Carrier Enterprise distributes Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and Tempstar HVAC equipment and parts across North America and Latin America. It directly competes with Galpa in distributing Carrier-affiliated brands (including Trane, which Galpa also carries) to contractor customers in overlapping geographies.
• Johnstone Supply: Johnstone Supply is a US-focused cooperative wholesale distributor of HVAC/R parts and equipment serving independent contractors through hundreds of branches. Like Galpa, it is a multi-brand distributor targeting HVAC technicians with comparable product categories including refrigeration components and controls.
• Gustave A. Larson Company: Gustave A. Larson is a wholesale distributor of HVAC/R equipment, parts, and controls serving the Midwest, Mountain, and Pacific regions. It is highly comparable to Galpa in the multi-brand contractor distribution model with similar product depth in compressors, motors, and refrigerant components.
• WinWholesale: WinWholesale is a US wholesale distribution group with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial supply subsidiaries. Its HVAC-focused subsidiaries (e.g., Winair, WinSupply) overlap directly with Galpa's HVAC/R equipment and parts offering to contractor customers.
• Refrigeration Parts Solutions (RPS): RPS is a US wholesale distributor of commercial refrigeration parts and equipment serving technicians, contractors, and OEMs. It directly parallels Galpa's refrigeration components category including compressors, condensers, and controls from brands like Copeland and Danfoss.
• ApplianceParts.com: ApplianceParts.com is a US online distributor of OEM replacement parts for major appliance brands including Whirlpool, GE, LG, and Samsung. It directly overlaps with Galpa's appliance parts category and the online B2B ordering model serving independent repair technicians.

Broad incumbents

• Ferguson Enterprises: Ferguson is a major wholesale distributor of plumbing, HVAC, waterworks, and industrial products serving contractors across North America. It overlaps with Galpa in HVAC parts and refrigeration distribution but operates at vastly greater scale with proprietary digital ordering platforms.
• Watsco: Watsco is the largest US distributor of HVAC equipment, parts, and supplies, operating ~600 locations. Galpa overlaps in HVAC distribution to the contractor channel but is much smaller and geographically focused on the Americas/Free Zone rather than the US domestic market.
• Rexel: Rexel is a global electrical, lighting, and HVAC/R products distributor with operations across the Americas and Europe. Galpa competes in the same multi-brand distribution model but lacks Rexel's national-account relationships and capital base.

Regional players

• Trane Direct / Trane Supply: Trane's direct distribution arm sells Trane and related OEM HVAC parts to contractors, partially overlapping with Galpa's Trane and York product lines. As OEMs push direct-to-contractor channels, Trane Supply represents a disintermediation threat to Galpa's multi-brand distribution model.
