Aftermarket parts supplier Sampa UK & Ireland has secured a £1 million funding boost to support an expansion of its manufacturing and same-day delivery vans fleet.

HSBC UK told Aftermarket online it made the funding package available to Manchester-based Sampa, which is a global supplier of parts for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

The funding will also support investment in logistics and distribution, as Sampa plans to extend its reach into the Midlands, Sheffield, Scotland, and Dublin, creating 100 new UK jobs.

Sampa will also focus on maintaining larger stock levels and delivering 24/7 parts distribution to meet increasing demand from domestic and international markets.

‘Strengthen’

Sampa MD Kemal Kahraman said: “This funding from HSBC UK will play a crucial role as we expand into new markets across the UK.

“The investment will allow us to strengthen our operations, expand our presence in the UK and Ireland, and create new employment opportunities, all whilst ultimately benefiting our diverse customer base.”

Simon Kitchingman, north region business development manager at HSBC UK, said: “We’re confident this investment will contribute to Sampa’s continued success and growth in the UK and Ireland.”
