Correct identification
The right component, first time. We resolve OE numbers, competitor codes and chassis details to the exact part — because a wrong part is a vehicle off the road.
Our story
Three decades of focus
Automint was founded to import and distribute the components the commercial-vehicle aftermarket relies on — and has stayed on that path ever since, deepening the range and widening the network as it grew.

Founded
Automint Ltd is founded to import and stock air springs and steering components for the commercial-vehicle trade — supplying the national network of parts factors from day one. Firestone, one of its earliest suppliers, has supplied Automint ever since.

Growth
A deeper range
Seeing a gap for a high-quality aftermarket damper, we added SABO shock absorbers — now over 500 part numbers — alongside ŞEM antivibration mounts and steering linkage, and HYDCAB cab hydraulics.

Today
A specialist network
50+ staff work across three operational locations in Huddersfield and Trafford Park, matching stock to OE references every day — and solving the technical problems a stock code can’t when it counts — backed by a technical catalogue of 200,000+ cross references linking OE and competitor numbers to stock.
