Founded in 1956, FIGIEFA is the International federation and political representative in Brussels of independent automotive aftermarket distributors. Its members, 24 national trade associations from 21 countries worldwide, represent retailers and wholesalers of automotive replacement parts and components and their associated repair chains.
FIGIEFA represents the interests of its members towards European and international institutions. Its role is to monitor and accompany the design of legislation with the aim to maintain free and effective competition in the market for vehicle replacement parts, servicing and repair. FIGIEFA is a trade federation and a stakeholders’ representation accredited to the European institutions and holds consultative roster status at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) with membership to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN-ECE-WP29).
Our objectives
To achieve these goals, it is FIGIEFA’s mission to:
- monitor European and UNECE legislative projects that have an impact on the freedom of all market operators to supply or purchase automotive replacement parts, and to have access to technical information;
- raise awareness of European decision-makers on the importance of effective competition in the automotive aftermarket, for the benefit of motorist consumers, and on the key role played by the independent parts distribution;
- follow new developments in vehicle technology and their impact on the ‘reparability’ of vehicles and on the market of vehicle spare parts, servicing and repair.
