The Euro4x4parts.com Team

Nowadays companies are often big and anonymous; we'd like you to know that at Euro4x4parts.com, you'll be dealing with real people.

Georges & Françoise Graciet

Euro4x4parts.com is the creation of a married couple passionate about off-roading, Georges and Françoise Graciet.

Georges, originally from southwest France, came to the company having managed an automobile transmission company. Françoise, from the Alsace region, had been marketing manager for a food industry multinational.

The couple decided to combine their business experience and their passion for languages and travelling. Euro4x4parts.com was born on September 4th, 2000.

For their own excursions en famille (with their four children), Georges and Françoise take their Toyota 100 Series (Georges), a 4x4 Renault M210 Truck (Georges) or a Land Rover Defender 110 (Françoise).

In addition to their management duties, Françoise handles communication and sponsoring, and Georges provides technical support for clients and handles supplies.

The French Store

The Euro4x4parts.com corporate headquarters is in Ondres, Southwest France. We're about 10 minutes north of Biarritz and about 30 minutes north of Spain, on the Atlantic coast.

The Euro4x4parts.com store is housed in a warehouse built onto the Graciet family house in 1952 by Georges' grandfather as his garage expanded.

Although our Spanish branch is growing rapidly, the Ondres store handles the bulk of our business worldwide.

We have twelve full-time employees in Ondres. If you call or come by, chances are you'll be talking to Sandrine, Christian or Romuald, who handle most of the customer inquiries.

The next time you take Route Nationale 10 through Ondres, stop in and say hello -- we're at the top of the hill, opposite the water tower!

The Spanish Store

As happens with many successful businesses, what seemed like an immense warehouse as a startup started to feel cramped after a few years of steady growth.

Since its birth in 2000, Euro4x4parts.com has flourished. In 2006 we found that our Ondres warehouse was no longer quite big enough to comfortably house our enormous stock of parts.

So, in response to steadily increasing demand from Spanish and Portugese customers, we decided to open a Spanish branch of Euro4x4parts.com.

In September 2006, Georges, Françoise, & Co. moved to Vidreres, in northeast Spain (about 70km north of Barcelona on the Mediterranean coast), and opened a new store.

Our Spanish branch is managed by Rafael Sastre, and of course the Graciets are never far away.

If ever you're driving along the coast north of Barcelona, drop by -- we'd be more than happy to fix you a cup of tea and chat for a few minutes!

4x4 Salons

We enjoy all things 4x4, and we particularly enjoy the opportunity to participate in 4x4 salons each year -- Val d'Isère, Landmania, Vallée Bleue, Périgord, Toyota Grand Sud,Chambon sur Jeep and Montargis, among others.

In Spain, we look forward to Teruel and Bassella.

The salons enable us to get out of the office to meet our customers and do what we love best -- go offroad!

They're also a great way for us to meet new peope, make new friends, and stay in touch with the state of the sport.

We also participate in trade shows such as Equip'Auto (France) and Motortec (Spain).

A note from les patrons...

"We have both put the best of ourselves into creating Euro4x4parts.com and we are proud of its success. We'd like to give all our customers a big thank you for trusting us with their vehicles."
