LKQ invests in MPM expansion for Ireland

LKQ Euro Car Parts has announced a “significant investment” into expanding its range of MPM oils in Ireland.

The company, the leading supplier of parts, consumables and added value services to the country’s independent automotive aftermarket, said today it will increase MPM stock levels at its national distribution centre in Santry, northeast of Dublin.

LKQ said customers will benefit from access to hundreds of MPM products ranging from engine oil additions to coolants, antifreeze, gear oil, ATF fluids, additives and consumables.

MPM is a leading provider of OEM approved lubricants and specialised liquids catering for the rapidly evolving global car parc. The label is part of the Emotive house of brands distributed by LKQ across Europe.

Sustainability

Key additions to the range include a 60-litre barrel, which will allow customers to spread their oil coverage over multiple barrels and improve stock flexibility. 

The expanded range will also reflect MPM’s focus on sustainability, including the launch of its 20-litre ‘Bag in Box’ — which offers a greener option to packaging as its outer box can be easily recycled.

Colin Cottrell, LKQ Euro Car Parts marketing director, said: “MPM’s focus on product quality and customer service mirrors our own. Together we are uniquely placed to help independent garages service the latest vehicles to the highest standard.”

The expansion investment comes ahead of the Auto Trade EXPO in Dublin, on October 12-13, where LKQ UK&I will be on stand 97.
