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.
About Automint
Since 1989 Automint has imported and stocked commercial-vehicle steering and suspension parts, supplying the national network of parts factors who keep trucks, trailers, buses and coaches on the road. That long, deliberate focus is why our stock runs deep, why factors call us when a stock code doesn’t solve their problem, and why our staff can talk parts, fitment and application — not scripts.
Our story
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.
1989
Automint Ltd is founded to import and stock air springs and steering components for the commercial-vehicle trade — partnering with Firestone from the outset and supplying the national network of parts factors from day one.
Growth
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.
2015
Automint became SABO's sole distributor for their air-spring range into the UK and Ireland, complementing the Firestone offering and broadening one of the deepest air-spring ranges available in these markets.
Today
More than 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.
By the numbers
How we work
Our supply partners are recognised brands with an uncompromising approach to quality — complemented by technically trained staff who cover every part of the range.
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.
Firestone Airide, SABO, BAGEN, ŞEM and HYDCAB — chosen for product quality, range and technical support, not for the length of their catalogue.
One of the deepest air-spring ranges in the UK and Ireland, over 500 SABO damper part numbers, and — where a single application has more than one correct fitment — multiple SKUs stocked to match the exact original-equipment specification, not just the closest one.
Truck, trailer, bus and coach — a single, deliberate market that our whole range, catalogue and technical knowledge is built around.
