We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium replacement parts in the automotive aftermarket and a custom-engineered solutions provider to vehicle and equipment manufacturers in diverse non-aftermarket end markets. Our business is organized into four operating segments: Vehicle Control , Temperature Control , Nissens Automotive and Engineered Solutions . Nissens Automotive was created in the fourth quarter of 2024 following the completion of our acquisition of AX V Nissens III ApS (now known as SMP Nissens III ApS) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries ("Nissens Automotive") in November 2024. Our Vehicle Control , Temperature Control and Nissens Automotive operating segments supply the automotive aftermarket with premium replacement parts in largely non-discretionary categories. Our products are primarily used to perform non-discretionary repairs that extend the service life of vehicles by replacing critical components that have failed over time and that are necessary for vehicles to operate as designed. Our Engineered Solutions operating segment offers a broad array of conventional and future-oriented technologies in markets for commercial and light vehicles, construction, agriculture, power sports, marine, hydraulics and lawn and garden. We sell our products primarily to retailers, warehouse distributors, original equipment manufacturers and original equipment service part operations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and other foreign countries.
Our operating segment structure provides clarity to the unique dynamics and margin profiles of the markets we serve, and it is designed to align our operations with our strategic focus on diversifying our business and capturing opportunities for future growth.
