What Autoteile-Transfer- Service does

Autoteile-Transfer-Service GmbH (ATS GmbH) is a Bergheim, Germany-based distributor of original (OE), OEM, and aftermarket spare parts for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and special equipment. Founded in 1999 and operating as a private GmbH, ATS has built a catalog of more than 3.5 million parts covering 100+ brands across OE, OEM, and aftermarket tiers, including marquee passenger brands (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Land Rover, Jaguar), commercial vehicle manufacturers (Volvo, Scania, MAN), OEM component suppliers (Bilstein, Bosch, Brembo, Sachs, ZF), and lubricant brands (Shell, Mobil1, Castrol).

The company's core technology is an online parts catalog and e-commerce web platform (ats-huerth.com) available in German, English, and Russian, supplemented by phone-based ordering and warehouse pickup at its Bergheim facility. A secondary office is maintained in Weilerswist. The platform supports customer registration, multilingual search, and direct order placement, with delivery capability to 46+ countries including customs handling for international shipments.

ATS generates revenue through one-time, transaction-based sales of spare parts to four horizontal segments: national wholesale and retail, international wholesale and retail, automotive workshops, and online traders. Pricing is quote-based via the web shop, with no minimum order quantity for select Mercedes trucks and EvoBus lines and an approximately two-week delivery window depending on volume. The company is owner-operated by Director Dimitri Rohr and Prokurist Igor Epsteyn, owns the Herzog brand for original spare parts, and lists Flag Germany as a recommended diesel-injection supplier partner. No external funding, M&A activity, or public listing is disclosed.
