Our Rich Heritage and Industry History

Skipper Transport Parts carries a long and proud history deeply rooted in Australia’s commercial transport and automotive sectors. Tracing our origins back over five decades as part of Western Australia’s iconic automotive supply network, the brand has evolved into one of the country’s most comprehensive suppliers of commercial transport parts.

Over the decades, Skipper Transport Parts built its reputation by bridging the gap between global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and local transport operators. Recognizing the unique geography of Western Australia, the business expanded strategically into vital regional centers like Port Hedland, Karratha, Albany, and Esperance to ensure local businesses had immediate access to essential components without enduring lengthy city-based freight delays. Today, as part of a nationwide network backed by industry-leading logistics, we combine regional warmth and local knowledge with immense corporate purchasing power and supply chain strength.
