- The packaging line, created in 2018, represents 40% of the Used World Parts business volume.
- The company distributes around 100,000 units of packaging every year to authorized vehicle treatment centers in Spain, France, Lithuania, Portugal and Italy.
Nigrán, September 9, 2024.- Used World Parts (UWP), a Galician e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of automotive spare parts throughout Europe, has consolidated its presence in the market with the expansion of its dedicated business line to the design and manufacture of packaging. This area, which was created in 2018, is dedicated to the “ad hoc” design and manufacturing of highly resistant and durable packaging materials and boxes, aimed mainly at authorized vehicle treatment centers (CATs) in Spain, France, Lithuania, Portugal and Italy.
The idea of establishing this business area arose from the observation of a critical need in the market. During its years of operation, UWP found that many warehouses lacked proper packaging for auto parts, causing many of them to arrive damaged to customers. To mitigate this problem, UWP decided to launch a new line of business that provides its customers with specially designed packaging to ensure that the parts reach their destination in perfect condition.
Each auto part has unique characteristics such as size, weight and fragility, requiring customized packaging solutions. UWP has stood out in the market for its ability to adapt to these specific needs, offering exclusive designs that include the appropriate cardboard dimensions and thickness for each type of piece. Additionally, the company offers great flexibility regarding minimum order quantities, allowing customers to purchase small quantities or benefit from discounts for large-scale purchases.
UWP manages packaging orders within 24 hours of receipt, with an approximate delivery time of five days. This agility in operation has been key to achieving the distribution of approximately 100,000 units per year.
The high quality of the materials used, along with the customization and flexibility in orders, have positioned UWP as a leader in the packaging market for the sector. This approach not only minimizes the economic impact of breakage during transport, but also protects the merchandise, facilitates its handling and reinforces the brand image of customers, promoting loyalty and reducing complaints and incidents.
This business area represents 40% of UWP’s total business volume, consolidating its importance within the company and its commitment to excellence in customer service.
