AUSTRALIAN-OWNED automotive trade supplier Burson Auto Parts has opened its 170th store, 47 years after the business was founded and only a decade since it launched its 50th outlet.

The latest store is in Hervey Bay, Queensland, and continues the company philosophy of creating networks where automotive repairers do not have access to its services.

Burson Auto Parts executive general manager of trade, Craig Magill, said the business had always focused on locating its stores where trade customers need stock and to have high levels of inventory.

“We have opened many outstanding stores in greenfield sites in major suburbs and in rural areas where large concentrations of repairers are located,” he said.

“The location of our new Burson Auto Parts stores ensure that repairers who have not had access to conveniently-located parts, tools and equipment, now have that access, coupled with experienced staff and efficient delivery services.”

Burson, founded in 1971, listed on the ASX in 2014 and then changed its name in 2016 to Bapcor Ltd in response to a string of acquisitions including Autobarn, AutoPro, Opposite Lock, Midas and ABS. It employs more than 3800 people in 800 locations.
