Our partnership with NAPA Canada has been long and fruitful for UCDA Members. In this trying time of tariffs, and with Member’s starting to receive their annual NAPA rebates, we wanted to address any concerns about BUYING CANADIAN.
NAPA Is Canadian
Understandably, some Members have expressed concern to ensure that their continued relationship with NAPA Canada is not affected by the nasty tariff fight brought to us by the present U.S. administration.
UAP is the parent company of NAPA Canada.
Letter From UAP
To all UAP customers,
As we navigate a dynamic and evolving market, I want to address the recent discussions surrounding potential US tariff measures to Canada. While the automotive and heavy-duty aftermarkets are not direct targets of the tariffs at this time, I want to assure you that UAP is committed to mitigating any potential impacts to our supply chain, store network, and you, our valued customers. While the effect of these tariffs remains uncertain, we are actively monitoring developments and staying agile.
UAP was founded in Canada, and we have been a proudly established business here for nearly 100 years. Our national network consists of over 700 automotive and heavy vehicle parts stores and 14 distribution centres across Canada, collectively employing 10,000 people.
The strength of our network is built on our people and strong customer relationships; our business model enables thousands of our customers to service vehicles coast to coast, ensuring we can collectively keep Canadians moving everyday.
UAP has a strong financial foundation, a resilient business model, and a solid leadership team in place, enabling us to adapt to any challenges. One of the strengths of UAP is that we are part of a global organization, giving us access to a global supply chain to make the best decisions for our Canadian market.
We continue to monitor events closely and we will keep you informed as more details are known. Rest assured, UAP has a robust plan in place to mitigate potential impacts. I am confident in our plan and our team; UAP will remain a strong and resilient Canadian business to continue to service you for the future.
Thank you for your continued support.
Alain Masse
President, UAP Inc.
