About Automint

Specialists,
not generalists.

Since 1990 we have concentrated on one thing: air springs, suspension and steering for the commercial-vehicle market. That long, deliberate focus is why our shelves are deep, our supply partners are trusted, and our staff can talk parts, fitment and application — not scripts.

Our story

Three decades of focus

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.

  1. 1990

    Established

    Automint Ltd is founded as a specialist importer and distributor of air springs, air suspension components and steering parts for the truck, trailer and bus market — partnering with Firestone from the outset.

  2. Growth

    A deeper range

    Seeing a gap for a high-quality aftermarket damper, we added SABO shock absorbers — now over 500 part numbers — alongside SEM Lastik suspension and steering and Hydcab cab hydraulics.

  3. 2015

    Sole distributor for SABO air springs

    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.

  4. Today

    A specialist network

    More than 50 staff work across three operational locations in Huddersfield and Trafford Park, backed by a technical catalogue of 200,000+ cross references linking OE and competitor numbers to stock.

How we work

Knowledge, held on the shelf and at the desk

Our supply partners are recognised brands with an uncompromising approach to quality — complemented by technically trained staff who cover every part of the range.

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.

Supply-partner quality

Firestone, SABO, SEM Lastik and Hydcab — chosen for product quality, range and technical support, not for the length of their catalogue.

Depth of stock

One of the deepest air-spring ranges in the UK and Ireland, over 500 SABO damper part numbers, and suspension, steering and cab hydraulics held ready to move.

Commercial-vehicle focus

Truck, trailer and bus — a single, deliberate market that our whole range, catalogue and technical knowledge is built around.
