HGV parts distributor, Digraph outlines plans for expansion after first year with LKQ

Digraph – a UK distributor of HGV, bus and coach parts – has announced plans to expand its product range and bolster its logistics capability following a successful first 12 months as part of LKQ UK & Ireland. The business, which became part of the LKQ group of companies in July 2023, has recently started integrating its product inventory into LKQ’s T2 logistics hub in Tamworth, with 16,000 lines already on the system. Digraph has also outlined plans to invest in its range and further increase availability to customers across key categories, including batteries and filtration, in partnership with suppliers like Varta and Mann & Hummel.

Nick Bellwood, Business Director at Digraph said: “The past 12 months have been transformational for our business. We’ve got more products in stock than ever, and we can get them to customers faster. With our enhanced scale and buying power, as well as improved inventory and logistics capability, we can also be more agile – responding quickly to the market’s needs and doing whatever it takes to keep our customers on the road.”

Another key focus for the business this year has been helping fleet operators prepare for imminent changes to Direct Vision Standard (DVS) legislation in the Greater London area.

Nick Bellwood added: “With our product range and network of partner technicians who can manage fitment and installation, fleets can minimise – if not eliminate – downtime and remain at full utilisation in the months ahead.”
