Direct peers

• LAUSAN: LAUSAN is the sister Spanish parts distributor under Alliance Automotive Group Iberia, with overlapping catalog (Bosch, Valeo, Gates, SKF) and shared Iberian workshop network affiliations. Operates as an effectively co-branded distribution brand to Gaudí, serving the same B2B workshop and parts-store customer base across Spain.
• Soulima: Soulima is the AAG Iberia affiliate covering the Portuguese market, distributing NAPA and premium parts brands in Portugal. Direct sister entity to Gaudí under the same group, with near-identical product range, workshop network model, and B2B go-to-market.
• Groupauto Unión Ibérica (GAUIb): GAUIb is the Iberian buying group that promotes the Inter Taller and Eurotaller workshop networks and aggregates independent distributors competing with Gaudí/LAUSAN. Most directly comparable as an Iberian B2B parts distribution competitor with shared workshop-network DNA.
• ATR (Centro de Distribución): ATR is a Spanish multi-brand auto parts distributor serving workshops and parts stores nationwide with comparable product breadth and B2B logistics. Operates in the same Iberian aftermarket distribution space as Gaudí and is among the most direct head-to-head competitors in Spain.

Broad incumbents

• Alliance Automotive Group (AAG): AAG is the immediate parent company and the leading automotive aftermarket parts distribution group in Europe. While AAG operates at a pan-European level and Gaudí is a regional subsidiary, AAG's broader portfolio (France, UK, Germany, Poland, etc.) and procurement scale define the competitive context in which Gaudí operates.
• AD Parts (AD Internacional): AD International is a leading European group of independent automotive parts distributors with presence in Spain and Portugal. Comparable as a multi-country B2B parts distributor operating affiliated workshop networks, with shared business model and customer base.
• LKQ Corporation: LKQ is one of the largest global automotive parts distributors and a direct peer to Genuine Parts Company. While LKQ has limited Iberian wholesale presence, it competes with GPC/AAG across Europe and is the closest public-market comparable for the parent group's distribution business model.
• Temot International: Temot is a global B2B automotive parts distribution network with European footprint including Iberia. Comparable as a multinational purchasing alliance and workshop network operator serving independent distributors and workshops in similar categories.
• Würth Automotive: Würth operates an extensive B2B distribution business in Spain serving automotive workshops with parts, tools, consumables, and workshop supplies. Comparable for its direct sales force model, B2B workshop customer base, and broad automotive aftermarket product offering.

Regional players

• FROET (Federación Regional de Organizaciones y Empresas de Transporte de Murcia): FROET is a regional Spanish transport-industry association providing parts and workshop services to commercial vehicle operators in the Murcia region. Comparable as a regional B2B parts and service provider to commercial vehicle workshops, though narrower in geographic and vehicle coverage than Gaudí.
