In 1978 Bruce McIntyre and two of his friends John Miller and John Guess started the company, which was acquired by Imperial Holding in March 2008. Engineparts Turbochargers has now been servicing the Automotive Parts Aftermarket for the past 40 years with Quality Parts backed by a 12 month warranty. Engineparts Turbochargers has one of the best On-Line Catalogues “E-Part” in the industry and currently we have 1300 plus customers linked on to our catalogue with 1,200 users doing look ups and placing their orders directly on-line with us. The system also allows them to track the ordering process from placing the order to despatching of the order.
When the company was formed in 1978 it was based on the principle of Customer Centricity instead of Branch Centricity, this lead to implementing a unique delivery system to service our clients on a daily basis in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. The way this unique delivery system was implemented was to supply our customers with a delivery box.

1. Aliwal North, Sterkspruit, Zastron, Dewetsdorp
2. Bothaville, Wesselsbron, Klerksdorp, Stilfontein, Potchefstroom
