Transportation

We drive the Transportation Industry forward.

The Transportation Industry plays a vital role in our daily lives. It connects us. Sustains us. Moves us. From the food on our kitchen table to steel coils delivered to a factory floor, the Transportation Industry brings our world together.

Gexpro Services has a proven track record of best-in-class distribution of engineered fasteners and hardware components to the global Transportation Industry. Collaborating with customers across all subsectors of the industry – including automotive, rail, and heavy truck – we are ideally positioned to drive efficiency into our customer’s enterprise through fully customizable supply chain solutions, cutting-edge product and service technologies, and industry-leading program management.

On the other side of the supply chain continuum is our commitment to sustainability. Through our Environmental Management System (EMS) and ISO 14001 certification, we are partnering with our customers to achieve our collective sustainability goals.

The automotive sector has always been a fast-paced, dynamic environment. However, over the last decade, we’ve seen the average program life cycle shortened from roughly eight years to four, placing tremendous pressure on the Tier suppliers to compress timing of new product launches.

This is when it’s critical to have a fastener supplier who understands the automotive world.

At the Gexpro Services Automotive Center of Excellence (ACE), our team will work directly with your engineering department to develop the best fastener solution for your new product launches. Prototypes can be produced quickly with our advanced in-house manufacturing capabilities. Then, as the program moves from PPAP into production, our global footprint ensures we’re able to support your manufacturing operation at the local level.

Gexpro Services is currently supporting many of the world’s leading Tier 1 and 2 automotive suppliers as a best-in-class distributor of engineered fasteners and hardware.

What sets us apart:

  • An Automotive Center of Excellence that provides application and technical support
  • Master Distributor for various proprietary fastener lines
  • Extensive database of OEM prints and specifications
