LKQ Corporation, the parent company of LKQ Euro Car Parts, says it remains “committed to competition in the sector” following its acquisition of the parent company of GSF Car Parts and The Parts Alliance.

In a statement released today (9 March), it said: ”LKQ Corporation, the parent company of LKQ Euro Car Parts, has clarified that it will be undertaking a process to divest GSF following its acquisition of the factor’s Canadian owner, Uni-Select.

”The Transaction is subject to the receipt of anti-trust clearance in the UK – LKQ Corporation will offer to divest GSF as part of its application for the UK competition authority’s approval of the Transaction and the divestment.

”In the interim, LKQ Corporation will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the GSF business with the existing management team remaining in place and the organisation ring-fenced from LKQ.”

Nick Zarcone, president and chief executive officer of LKQ, said: “As detailed in the presentation shared on our website upon announcing the acquisition last week, we expect to divest GSF following receipt of relevant regulatory approvals.

”We hope this announcement helps to reassure the UK aftermarket that we remain committed to competition in the sector.”
