PARTS iD was founded in Cranbury in 2008 with a vision of creating a one-stop e-commerce destination for the automotive parts and accessories market. Sort of an Amazon for auto parts.
It has proven to be a smart idea.
The company has since evolved into a technology-driven, digital commerce company that has become a market leader and proven brand-builder — one that now includes many subcategory sites, including CARiD.com, BOATiD.com, TRUCKiD.com, MOTORCYCLEiD.com and many others.
Consumers are responding. During the second quarter of 2021, PARTS iD’s net revenue increased 14.5%, to $130.4 million, from $113.9 million.
