RADSA

What RADSA does

RADSA is a Spanish distributor of automotive spare parts, components, and workshop equipment founded in 1969 by Manuel Mohedano Habas. The company operates 12 delegations across Spain and serves a base of more than 5,000 active customers, primarily independent automotive repair workshops. Its product portfolio covers mechanical, electrical, bodywork, and consumable categories, supplied under authorized distribution agreements with major OEMs and tier-1 suppliers including Bosch, Delphi, VDO/Continental, Knorr-Bremse, ZF, MANN, Castrol, and Brembo.

RADSA's commercial offering combines physical same-day parts delivery from its delegation network with the DocNet B2B e-commerce platform (deployed 2014) for electronic ordering, invoicing, and catalog access. The company has also moved downstream into workshop identity and services through the RADSA POINT branded network (launched 2022) and the RecOficial / Bosch Car Service workshop concept, supplemented by an internal training classroom for technicians. These adjacencies extend RADSA beyond pure parts wholesaling into workshop support, training, and franchise-style service branding.

The business model is B2B wholesale distribution with credit terms, just-in-time logistics, and authorized-brand pricing. Revenue is generated through per-part margins on a high-SKU catalog, supplemented by workshop-services and training revenue. Since 2023 RADSA has operated as a subsidiary of Grupo Recalvi, following earlier ownership under Centro Group from 2005. Historical acquisitions (Distrimur, Comercial TDZ, AVENMAR, Recanvis Vilarrasa) have shaped its current geographic and category footprint.

Emerging players

• Euro Repar Car Service: PSA/Stellantis-affiliated multi-brand service network active in Spain. Comparable as an affiliated workshop concept competing for the same independent garage base that RADSA targets through RADSA POINT and Bosch Car Service.

Direct peers

• Temot International: Global aftermarket parts distribution network with members in Spain. Comparable as a multi-brand B2B parts distributor serving independent workshops through affiliated garage programs.
• Serca: One of the largest Spanish automotive parts distribution groups, operating an affiliated workshop network similar to RADSA's model. Direct competitor in multi-brand aftermarket parts supply across Spanish territory.
• AD Parts (AD International): European network of independent automotive parts distributors serving workshops across multiple countries including Spain. Closely comparable B2B distribution model with affiliated garage networks.
• Groupauto: International automotive parts distributor with Spanish operations. Operates a multi-brand distribution model and associated workshop networks, directly comparable to RADSA's multi-brand distribution and franchise approach.

Broad incumbents

• ATR International: International aftermarket distribution group with significant European presence. Comparable as a broad-line B2B parts distributor operating across multiple vehicle categories and geographies.
• Alliance Automotive Group: Major pan-European aftermarket parts distributor with Iberian operations. Directly comparable in distributing tier-1 brands (Bosch, Delphi, etc.) to independent workshops, but at much larger scale.
• Recalvi (Grupo RECALVI): RADSA's parent company since 2023. Grupo RECALVI is a diversified Iberian automotive aftermarket conglomerate that consolidates parts distribution and workshop networks across Spain and Portugal — directly comparable as an umbrella platform into which RADSA now sits.
• WM SE: One of Europe's largest automotive parts distributors with operations across multiple countries. Comparable in multi-brand B2B distribution and workshop network models, but at significantly greater scale.

Others

• Nexus Automotive International: International buying group of independent parts distributors. Comparable as a procurement-side consortium that aggregates scale for smaller distributors, an alternative model to RADSA's Recalvi integration.
