Auto Parts Limited (APL) and Universal Motors Limited (UML) are two of the leading companies in Ghana with dealerships of the world’s most prestigious automobile brands and have a common ownership and management. It all began when Auto Parts Limited became the first company to engage in the sale of Spare Parts in Ghana in 1938, and eventually won the first authorized dealership for Nissan in Ghana in 1959.
This was followed by Universal Motors Limited, which in 2005, became the sole authorised distributor of Volkswagen cars and parts in Ghana. In 2011, the Porsche Centre was launched also under the umbrella of Universal Motors Limited, thereby further expanding the number of brands in the UML family.
Together, these companies constitute a major contributor to the Ghanaian economy, providing employment for hundreths as well as internship opportunities for those interested in enhancing their professional development.
