PTC vs GPC Comparison

PTC offers high-end computer-assisted design (Creo) and product lifecycle management (Windchill) software as well as augmented reality industrial solutions. Founded in 1985, PTC has 28,000 customers, with revenue mostly from North America and Europe.

Genuine Parts sells aftermarket automotive parts (60% of sales) and industrial products (40% of sales) in the United States and internationally. The automotive segment primarily acts as a distributor to its network of 9,800 global retail locations, of which about two-thirds are independently owned and operated. We estimate Genuine serves around 6,000 retail locations in the US operating under the Napa Auto Parts brand, with about 80% of end-market sales derived from professional customers. Its industrial segment, primarily operating under the Motion name in the United States, is a leading distributor of bearings, power transmission, and other industrial products to more than 200,000 maintenance, repair, and original equipment manufacturer customers.
