Prasco Group has increased its manufacturing and distribution footprint to more than a million square metres with the acquisition of a new site in Turin.

The manufacturing plant is adjoined to Prasco’s existing distribution centre and means the company now owns and operates the entire facility.

Prasco, which will maintain its close links with the manufacturer and continue to purchase products from it Taiwan-based plants, will now embark on a programme of accelerated investment to become Europe’s leading manufacturer of independently certified non-OEM vehicle replacement parts.

Prasco Group President Franco D’Amato, said, “We will now invest heavily in the manufacturing plant, particularly in new machines and tooling that enable us to react instantly to the demands of our customers by being able to produce the latest products or items for popular European models.”

Kelvyn Waugh, Managing Director for Prasco UK, added, “This effectively elevates the group to a manufacturer of replacement parts rather than an importer and exporter.”
