What NTP-STAG does

NTP-STAG, headquartered in Exeter, Pennsylvania and operating as a division of Keystone Automotive Operations (itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ Corporation, NASDAQ: LKQ), is the leading North American distributor and marketer of aftermarket RV parts and accessories. The company carries 185,000+ unique SKUs from 800+ suppliers, operates 8 distribution centers and 37 cross-docks across the US and Canada for a total of 2.9 million square feet of warehouse space, and runs a private fleet of more than 800 vehicles that log over 38 million miles and 90,000+ delivery routes annually. This infrastructure supports a 99.9% order fill rate and next-day delivery to 48 continental US states and 9 Canadian provinces.

The company's go-to-market combines a sales-led model — through 6 inside-sales call centers handling approximately 1.4 million calls per month and what it describes as the largest outside sales force in the RV aftermarket — with channel distribution to thousands of independent RV dealerships, service centers, mobile technicians, and retailers. NTP-STAG monetizes primarily through wholesale parts and accessories distribution on a transactional basis, with secondary revenue streams from drop-shipping, retail merchandising and store design (S.M.A.R.T. program), a private-label brand portfolio of 9+ brands (Husky Towing, TrailFX, SpeedFX, Arcon, Duraflex, AquaPro, Faulkner, Ventmate, Coast to Coast International), and event-driven marketing anchored by EXPO, the largest wholesale buying show in the RV aftermarket. It also operates an export business covering 40+ countries.

Underlying the distribution business is a proprietary digital platform stack: VIA (B2B ordering and inventory management), MagniFinder (parts discovery and exploded diagrams used by 1,500+ RV dealers), Topline (retail analytics), and Parts Via (consumer-facing e-commerce platform backed by a 2,000+ dealer network for in-store pickup and installation scheduling). Long-standing OEM partnerships with Jayco, Grand Design, and Airxcel include co-developed warranty claims workflows, integrating NTP-STAG into dealer service operations. Sister divisions include Keystone Automotive Operations (automotive aftermarket) and SeaWide Marine Distribution (marine aftermarket).
