The GPA Group is based in Livron-sur-Drôme and covers more than 24 hectares, employing more than 300 people in around 30 different professions. 

GPA used parts combine a number of advantages and are a true product of sustainable development. 

Ecological, its reuse avoids the production of a new part, preserving natural resources and reducing CO2 emissions. 

Economical, it is 50% to 90% cheaper than a new part from the manufacturer and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Socially responsible, it is produced in France at our Livron-sur-Drôme site, where jobs cannot be relocated.

In 2024, GPA strategically established itself in western France through the acquisition of its Angers-based peer Debrito.

This deal comes amid strong growth in the reusable parts market, fuelled by efforts to combat inflation in repairs on the one hand and climate change on the other.
