A wholly owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company (GPC), UAP Inc. is a Canadian leader in the distribution, merchandising and remanufacturing of automotive parts and replacement accessories for cars, trucks and heavy vehicles. Over the years, UAP has earned a reputation for product excellence, unsurpassed customer services and support, and dynamic growth in all of its markets – a dynamism prompting profitable expansion from the very beginning in 1926 when the company was established as United Auto Parts Limited.

With outlets across Canada, UAP is currently organized in three main divisions: the Auto Parts Division, involved mainly in sales, distribution and marketing of replacement parts and supplies for cars and light trucks, the Heavy Vehicle Parts Division, which caters mainly to the needs of the trucking and construction sectors, as well as the mining and forest industries, and the Manufacturing Division, which produces and rebuilds parts for heavy and light vehicles.
