What Autodis Group does

Parts Holding Europe (PHE), legally operating under the former trade name Autodis Group, is a France-headquartered, privately held independent distributor of spare parts for light vehicles and heavy trucks. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Arcueil, the group employs approximately 10,500 people and serves professional repairers across seven Western European countries (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, and Ireland). Its core activity is multi-brand parts distribution to independent garages, organized around retained legacy brands including Autodistribution, AD Poids Lourds, Oscaro, ACR Group, Cora Automobile, Doyen, Geevers, Autodis Italia, AD Parts Intergroup, and Top Part.

The group's product and service portfolio centers on two pillars: (i) distribution of automotive parts for light and heavy vehicles, delivered through physical retail stores, field sales representatives (animateurs réseau and responsables de secteur commercial), and e-commerce platforms (Oscaro and idGarages.com); and (ii) repair support services, including the operation of branded independent garage networks (AD, AD Expert, AutoPrimo) that connect vehicle owners with affiliated repair professionals. The underlying technology layer is described as a distribution and logistics platform for automotive parts, with no proprietary technology features disclosed. Customer segments are segmented horizontally by use case into light vehicle and heavy truck repair professionals, with both B2B (professional repairers) and B2C (retail consumers and vehicle owners) channels active.

PHE's business model is fundamentally B2B distribution with margin-based revenue mechanics on parts sales, supplemented by direct-to-consumer e-commerce and physical retail. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on quote-based terms for professional clients. The group is led by CEO Stéphane Antiglio, with recent senior appointments in 2026 (Lilian Leroux as Deputy CEO, Laurent Gasse as Group HR Director, and Perrine Pradal as Group Legal Director) supporting a multi-country platform executing active M&A, including the announced majority acquisition of Spanish parts distributor Suministros Dama in February 2026.
