2025 Automotive Parts Distribution Award

Last November, Europeças won the 2025 Automotive Parts Distribution Award at the 9th edition of Automotive Magazine’s Fleet & Service Awards. With this distinction,
it has reinforced its position as an undisputed leader in the automotive sector in Portugal.

The ceremony, held at Vila Galé Collection Sintra, brought together leading figures from the national and international automotive market. In an environment where innovation, merit and excellence are not just words, but the reality that drives the best, Europeças stood out unequivocally.

Work that cannot be improvised, but is built with vision Receiving the Distribution Award is more than an honour: it is public confirmation that the path we have chosen is the right one.

Automotive Magazine highlighted Europeças for its real and measurable impact on the Portuguese market:
• Strategic and sustainable expansion of the territory, especially in the interior of the country

• Broad and competitive portfolio

• Specialised technical service

• Efficient and customer-oriented logistics

In a demanding, competitive and constantly evolving sector, being recognised not for promises, but for execution, is an achievement that validates our vision: growth is important, but growing with values, consistency and vision is essential.

A growing network built with responsibility

Europeças has invested consistently and strategically in its national presence, creating a solid geographical balance and ensuring that after-sales solutions are increasingly closer to the real needs of the automotive sector in Portugal. This investment was not limited to opening stores, it was a commitment to quality, uniformity and operational excellence, setting standards that elevate the entire distribution chain.

Every point of contact with customers reflects this commitment:

• Organised, modern and well-maintained shops, where every detail of the customer experience has been carefully considered;

• Trained, technical and friendly teams, capable of combining specialist knowledge with personalised attention;

• Robust stocks, ensuring that every order is fulfilled quickly, efficiently and reliably;

• A transparent, responsible and stable commercial ecosystem, where ethical and consistent practices generate trust in all partners and customers.

Europeças’ priority has always been clear: to serve customers with trust, consistency and respect, ensuring not only excellent products and services, but also a relationship experience that consolidates the Europeças brand as a benchmark for professionalism, credibility and innovation.

The strategy behind Europeças’ success

Our communication has never been about spectacle, but rather relevance. We have not sought to be everywhere; we have sought to be where it makes sense and when it makes a difference. We only speak when there is truth to communicate, because for us, communicating means respecting the sector, our customers and the intelligence of the market.

Today, this discreet, strategic and consistent positioning is no longer just a way of operating, but has become a recognised example of professionalism, maturity and vision.

A tribute to everyone who makes Europeças a benchmark

This victory is shared, because this award belongs to Europeças, but also to everyone who is part of our journey: the employees who wear the shirt with dedication and professionalism every day; the suppliers who accompany us with trust and integrity; the partners who believe in our vision; and all the customers who trust us, including workshops, parts stores, car centres, fleet operators, independent professionals and also the end consumer. Each one has contributed to making Europeças a solid benchmark and an active force in the market.
To all of you, the real reason for our work, we offer our deepest and most genuine thanks.
