Over the past two years, we’ve been busy making big changes to the way we work. We’ve restructured, streamlined, and strengthened our operations – all with one goal in mind: to deliver a better, more focused service to truck motor factors.

Now, we’re taking the next step in our journey. Imexpart Ltd is transitioning to UPG UK & Ireland.

This change aligns us with our global parent company, UPG (Universal Parts Group), and marks the beginning of a fresh chapter – one built on partnership, trade expertise, and the strength of a global network.

Why the Change?

Our new name reflects the evolution we’ve undergone as a business:

• A reset in how we work with truck motor factors.
  We’ve sharpened our focus to exclusively support the trade, giving customers a tailored and more efficient experience.

• A refreshed commitment to the industry.
  Everything we do is built around helping truck motor factors grow and succeed – from our competitive pricing to our expanded product ranges.

• Global strength, local expertise.
  Being part of UPG means access to wider resources, investment, and innovation, while still being driven by our knowledgeable UK-based team.

What Does This Mean for You?

While our name has changed, our core values remain the same. You’ll still be working with the same trusted team, but now we’re backed by the power of a global automotive group, allowing us to:

• Offer a broader product range and stronger supply chain.

• Deliver faster, more reliable service thanks to our improved infrastructure.

• Provide even better support with a renewed focus on trade-only partnerships.

Looking Ahead

This isn’t just a name change – it’s the start of something bigger.
We’re shedding outdated perceptions and moving forward with a clearer purpose: to be the partner truck motor factors can rely on for quality, expertise, and support.

IMEX becomes UPG UK & Ireland – One Team. One Vision. One Goal.

As part of Random Act of Kindness Day on 17th February, we were delighted to welcome Castleford College to our site and donate £250 worth of parts to support their Level 2 Motor Vehicle Studies (Mechanics) course.

Craig and Beth from the college were given a tour of our warehouse and sales office, where they met George, their key contact for booking out parts. It was a great opportunity to showcase what we do and strengthen our connection with the next generation of automotive professionals.

We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership and supporting students as they develop their skills for the industry’s future!

After an incredible 26 years at IMEX, we say a fond farewell to Phil Amber, our Senior Parts Interpreter. Phil has been an integral part of the team, bringing a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and dedication to our customers and colleagues alike.

We want to thank Phil for his hard work and commitment over the years – his presence will certainly be missed! We wish him all the best in his next chapter… and hope he still pops in to see us from time to time.

Since joining, Mark has hit the ground running – attending the IAAF Conference, working on our 2025/2026 sales budget, and representing us at LAMMA and the West Country Farming & Machinery Show.

His experience and leadership are already making a positive impact, helping us strengthen our sales strategy and customer relationships.

We’re excited about the journey ahead with Mark at the helm of our sales team. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive growth and success in 2025!

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be exhibiting at Automechanika UK for the first time this June at the NEC Birmingham! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our quality range of Car & Van parts alongside our comprehensive Engine range.

We’re looking forward to connecting with existing customers and suppliers while building new relationships within the industry. Our team will be on hand to discuss our latest products, and how we can support your business.

Stay tuned for more details – including where to find us and how you can get involved. We can’t wait to see you there! https://automechanika-2025-splash.reg.buzz/website

That’s a wrap from the LAMMA Show 2025, and what an experience it’s been! We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to everyone who visited our stand in Hall 12.

It was our first time exhibiting at LAMMA, and we truly enjoyed connecting with you, discussing your needs, and showcasing our Agri Parts range.

One key highlight from the show was the flexibility of our PTO Shafts:

• Purchase the complete PTO Shaft or,
• Choose individual components like Covers, Yokes, and more.
