About us
A core broker with conviction
Whilst remanufacturing has long been firmly established in the USA, the market share in Europe is growing steadily. We have been following this development for many years and are actively shaping it.
01About us
Our story
STP-Parts was founded in 2013 in Hilden, in the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr region and a few kilometres from Düsseldorf Airport. The idea has been the same from the start: used parts that have already proven their quality deserve a second chance. From trading steering gears and power steering pumps, a globally organised core broker has grown that today supplies remanufacturers in Europe and worldwide with a broad spectrum of cores.

02About us
Philosophy
For us, remanufacturing used parts is not simply a business activity.
- 01
Sustainability
Every remanufactured part saves raw materials, energy and emissions. That is our contribution to a functioning circular economy.
- 02
Continuous improvement
We watch which part numbers are becoming scarce on the market and build up stock before the demand arises.
- 03
Reliability
A continuous exchange with suppliers and customers is particularly important to us. We keep our commitments.
- 04
Responsibility
We pay once the goods are inspected, and we keep our commitments on quantities and dates. Our remanufacturing partners rely on that.
03About us
Our know-how
As core brokers we are active worldwide, relying on the know-how gained over many years and on a wide network of partners. Together with workshops, parts dealers and recycling companies we meet the demands of the remanufacturing industry. Headquartered in Germany, we benefit from logistical advantages and have continuously made our used parts management more efficient.
Commitment within APRA Europe
As a member of the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association Europe we are always up to date on the latest developments in the remanufacturing field and able to respond quickly to changing demands. We get actively involved: as sponsor of the APRA European Symposium 2026, with expert presentations and in panel discussions, for example on sensor- and AI-supported identification of used parts.
