Pioneer Automotive Industries and ATP have effectively expanded operations to include an additional 100,000-square-foot warehouse adjacent to its existing distribution facility and headquarters. The company has been an established aftermarket auto parts supplier based in Meridian, Mississippi, since 1946. In 2018, sister brand ATP Automotive merged operations with Pioneer, providing the brands a centralized shipping point in Mississippi.

Pioneer Automotive Industries President Jorge Frias said: “The new building will allow Pioneer Automotive Industries to service customers of the Pioneer and ATP brands with streamlined order fulfillment while increasing inventory capacity for growing product lines.”

Previously, Pioneer operated out of its company owned 200,000-square-foot facility and the new connected addition will provide a total of 300,000 sqare feet and 18 shipping and receiving docks for inventory and order processing.

Frias commented “With recent new item growth in key areas including engine and transmission mounts from Pioneer, transmission filtration from ATP and flex plates and control cables which are currently available in either brand – the increased inventory capacity is our commitment to support our customer’s growth on these categories with the latest model coverage.”

The assets of ATP – Inc. have been acquired by The Lodi Group of Monterrey, Mexico. Under new ownership, the company begins operation as Automotive Technology Products LLC (ATP), effective today with no disruption in business.

The company says its first priority is to restore order fill to its extensive customer base and continue a long tradition of supplying the highest-quality with excellent customer service, near term.

“As an OE manufacturer of flywheels, flexplates, ring gears and other related powertrain products, The Lodi Group is proud to add Automotive Technology Products to our family of companies serving the automotive aftermarket in North America and the rest of the world. With manufacturing capacity in place and redeployment of existing inventories, personnel and equipment, we plan to return service levels to normal and business as usual in a very short time,” said Jorge Frias, president of Automotive Technology Products LLC.

Automotive Technologies Products LLC is an aftermarket supplier of transmission parts, kits chemicals and filters as well as flywheels, flexplates and cables. In addition, its Graywerks line of hard parts complete its broad product offering. The Lodi Group owns manufacturing facilities in North America as well as automotive aftermarket supply companies specializing in powertrain and transmission components.

ATP Automotive, celebrating its 60th anniversary in transmission filtration systems, has announced the addition of 21 new part numbers to its transmission filter product line. According to the company, these new numbers not only add coverage for key late model applications, but also provide a quality alternative to previously dealer-only and niche applications. This expansion creates a program with more than 300 available part numbers and substantial coverage for automatic transmission-equipped domestic and European vehicles.

ATP premium transmission filters are designed to capture internal transmission contaminants from standard to extreme operation and provide OE-specified fluid flow, ensuring transmission longevity. Many filter kits include the 3rd Hand Pan Gasket, which features guide holes that catch pan bolts, for fast and easy pan installation. The gasket material lays flat, requires no additional sealants and expands with the initial heat cycle to prevent leaks and retain bolt torque.

“Providing OE filtration specifications, innovative gasket technology and unmatched coverage make ATP Automotive the right choice for transmission filters,” said Luke Perkowski, director of product management and marketing for ATP Automotive Inc.
