Description: MPAA Motorcar Parts of America October 29, 2025
Motorcar Parts of America (MPAA) designs, remanufactures, and distributes replacement components for heavy-duty trucks, industrial, marine and agricultural equipment across the United States. Its operations are divided into three segments: Hard Parts (alternators, starters, brake hardware, turbochargers), Test Solutions & Diagnostic Equipment (bench-top testers, EV production tools, power-system emulation software), and Heavy-Duty (non-discretionary aftermarket hard parts for trucks, marine and farm applications). Products are sold under private-label brands such as Quality-Built, Pure Energy and D&V Electronics to retail chains, warehouse distributors and OEM aftermarket programs.
According to the company’s latest 10-K, MPAA generated roughly $285 million in revenue for FY 2023, a modest 5 % year-over-year increase driven by higher demand for brake-related parts and a rebound in heavy-truck mileage. Gross margins hovered near 30 %, while operating cash flow turned positive at about $22 million, reflecting efficient inventory management. Key economic drivers include U.S. freight volumes (which have risen ~4 % YoY) and the accelerating electrification of commercial fleets, which expands the addressable market for MPAA’s EV test and diagnostic solutions. Sector-wide, the aftermarket remains resilient because warranty and replacement parts are non-discretionary, and infrastructure spending on highways and ports supports continued growth in heavy-duty vehicle utilization.
