Transport Supplies

What Transport Supplies does

Transport Supplies NI Ltd is a privately held, Northern Ireland-based distributor and e-commerce retailer of commercial vehicle replacement parts, founded in 1961 and operating from headquarters at Dargan Court, Belfast, with a second branch in Craigavon/Portadown. The company sells genuine/OEM and non-genuine aftermarket parts across more than 30 supplier brands including Bosch, MEI (Knorr Bremse), Durite, Trucklite, Wabco, Haldex, Meritor, Hella, Mahle, Nissens, and Lemforder, covering DAF, Mercedes, MAN, Volvo, Scania, Iveco, Renault, Ford, Foden, and Dennis commercial vehicles. Its catalogue spans consumables (wiper blades, bulbs, battery terminals, air piping), mid-value components (brake calipers, alternators, sensors), and higher-value workshop equipment (Bosch KTS diagnostic tools), with a vehicle registration-based fitment verification tool at checkout to reduce incorrect ordering.

The business runs on a sales-led, direct-to-buyer go-to-market: the primary channel is its own e-commerce storefront (transportsupplies.co.uk), supplemented by telephone sales support (8:30am-5:00pm, Monday-Friday) and email at both branches, plus an email newsletter and Facebook presence for marketing. Distribution is enabled by a Parcel Force partnership providing next-day UK delivery and dedicated NI delivery at GBP 4.99, alongside walk-in collection at the two branches. Pricing is unit-based with fixed per-product prices, no subscription or tiered model, and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty on all parts. Customer segments are commercial fleet operators, owner-drivers, and independent/franchise commercial vehicle repair workshops purchasing on a transactional, one-time-purchase basis with no disclosed enterprise contracts.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves3 records

Broad incumbents

• Euro Car Parts (LKQ UK): Euro Car Parts is the UK's largest motor vehicle parts distributor (owned by LKQ Corporation), operating a multi-brand e-commerce platform plus national branch network. It serves the same commercial and retail parts buyer base as Transport Supplies but at materially larger scale and broader SKU coverage, including CV-adjacent product lines.
• ATS Euromaster: ATS Euromaster is a major UK commercial vehicle service, tyre and parts provider with national branch coverage. While broader in scope (tyres and servicing), it overlaps with Transport Supplies in supplying CV operators with parts, consumables and workshop support across the UK.

Direct peers

• Allmakes: Allmakes is a UK specialist in commercial vehicle aftermarket parts across multiple truck brands (DAF, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes, Renault, Scania, Volvo). It operates a similar multi-OEM distribution model targeting fleets and independent workshops, making it the closest direct comparator to Transport Supplies.
• MERLIN Truck & Van Parts: MERLIN is a UK multi-brand truck and van parts distributor running its own e-commerce storefront, comparable in operating model to Transport Supplies. It serves independent workshops and fleet customers with replacement parts across the same major CV OEMs.

Others

• Hella: Hella is a major CV lighting and electrical components manufacturer and a listed brand partner of Transport Supplies. As a brand-side ecosystem participant, Hella is comparable as both an upstream supplier and a potential channel competitor if it expands direct distribution.
• FEBI Bilstein: FEBI Bilstein is a major European aftermarket parts brand owner supplying commercial vehicle replacement parts, and is listed among Transport Supplies' brand partners. It represents the brand-owner side of the same value chain and could disintermediate distributors.
• Haldex: Haldex manufactures commercial vehicle braking and suspension systems and is a brand partner of Transport Supplies. As an upstream supplier, it sits in the same ecosystem and could in theory shift toward direct fleet distribution models.
• Knorr-Bremse: Knorr-Bremse is a global CV braking systems manufacturer and parent of MEI, one of Transport Supplies' core brand partners. It represents the manufacturer tier of the value chain and could pursue direct distribution to fleet customers, bypassing independents.
