Parts Town reports record 2024 revenue

USA: Parts Town Unlimited, the OEM foodservice equipment and HVAC parts distributor, has reported a record annual revenue of $2.5bn in 2024.

All four divisions of Parts Town Unlimited achieved record revenue levels. Parts Town, the company’s largest division, and Parts Town’s Home division, focused on residential appliance parts distribution, saw the highest revenue growth performance. 

Within Parts Town, the most significant growth came from parts sales to independent service companies across North America, and from its fast-growing HVAC segment, which delivered 55% year-over-year growth. 

This expansion is said to have been driven by new and expanded partnerships with 89 manufacturers and increased product availability across critical HVAC lines. 

The group now includes 46 brands across 147 global locations serving 171 countries and has grown to more than 5,500 team members worldwide.

Supporting the growth of the HVAC division, the company launched HVAC Data Plate Scanner, a visual search capability that allows HVAC engineers to easily identify and purchase the exact parts they need by simply scanning the data plate on HVAC equipment.
