LKQ’s Global Presence
LKQ’s Global Presence
Across six continents and countless communities, our global brand family brings together collision, mechanical, and paint-body-equipment expertise under one shared standard. Each regional brand reflects the same commitment to reliability, innovation, and service that customers around the world have come to expect from LKQ.
From recycled OEM parts to remanufactured engines and heavy-duty truck components, our North American wholesale brands keep the continent’s vehicles moving. Decades of sourcing expertise and operational scale mean our customers get the right part, at the right value, every time.
Built for the professionals who demand precision, our North American paint, body, and equipment brands deliver the tools and materials shops trust to get the job done right. Each name in this family stands for consistency and quality across every job, every day.
Beyond parts, our North American services and retail brands support customers with diagnostics, replacement labels, classic restorations, and specialty finishing — a full ecosystem built around convenience and expertise. Together, they reflect our commitment to being there for every stage of a vehicle’s life.
Our North America segment is comprised of wholesale operations, which consist of aftermarket and recycled parts operations, remanufacturing operations, and heavy truck operations. In addition, through Elitek Vehicle Services, LKQ has become a leader in the vehicle diagnostic services business.
We are the largest provider of alternative vehicle collision replacement products and a leading provider of alternative vehicle mechanical replacement products, with our sales, processing, and distribution facilities reaching most major markets in North America.
Our Specialty operating segment was formed in 2014 with our acquisition of Keystone Specialty, a leading distributor and marketer of specialty vehicle aftermarket products and accessories in North America. Our Specialty operations reach most major markets in the U.S. and Canada and serve the following six product segments: RV; truck and off-road; towing; speed and performance; wheels, tires and performance handling; and miscellaneous accessories.
Our Europe segment was built on four key acquisitions: European Car Parts (ECP) (2011), Sator (2013), Rhiag (2016) and Stahlgruber (2018). Additionally, in 2014 we expanded our European segment to include wholesale recycling operations through our acquisition of a business with recycled parts and vehicle repair facilities in Sweden and Norway, and in 2016, we acquired an equity investment in Mekonomen AB (“Mekonomen”), the leading independent car parts and service chain in the Nordic region of Europe.
