Why a group ?
Grupauto Polska was created in 1999 as a platform of common purchase and marketing policy for parts distributors oriented on servicing local markets, and as such has become an official Polish member of Grup Auto Union International.

Currently GP is formed by 11 companies:

Some facts in numbers:
The Group runs 60 sales points across Poland, with total sales and warehouse facilities of 50.000 sq meters, and 800 employees.
The 2008 turnover is supposed to exceed 150 mln euro.
Gau Polska is developing in Poland the Eurogarage concept, launched under the name of Eurowarsztat. Since the Group have recently incorporated a new member specialized in truck parts, Top Truck and G Truck will be lunched soon in Poland.

Our strategy:
The current and future growth of Grupauto Polska is based on the rapid development of present members, as well as acquiring new independent companies into the Group.

Our Philospohy:
EVER ONE, NEVER ALL This means for a given product line, GAU International never selects one single parts supplier but also never all of them, thus reinforcing partnership and competition.

CROSS FERTILIZATION Each nation member can learn from others. With a group of that size, there are always new initiatives to be shared and put to the service of all. GAU International initiates the cross contribution of various competences and experiments of several different nation group members along with their preferred suppliers.

BUZINESS IS PEOPLE Twenty first century means Internet, Intranet, Electronic Data Interchange, mobile phone, lap top computers, Interactive CD Rom, etc., but nothing will replace direct contact between individuals.
That is why GAU International organizes frequent meetings between nation members and yearly congress open to Suppliers Partners and Distributors.
