The genesis of a joint project

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

Euro4x4parts.com is the creation of an off-road enthusiast, Françoise Graciet Hollender, and a mechanics expert, Georges Graciet. Françoise, from the Alsace region, previously worked as a marketing manager for a food industry multinational. Georges, a native of south west France, managed an automobile transmission company.

They decided to combine their business experience and their passion for languages and travelling. Françoise Graciet Hollender Euro4x4parts.com opened for business on September 4th, 2000. Euro4x4parts.com opened for business on the 4th of September 2000 in France and on the 1st of January 2006 in Spain. Within 10 years the company the team had grown to 20 employees across both offices. Today there are no less than 30 employees on the team, all working together offer the very best level of customer service.

In addition to their management duties, Françoise handles marketing, and Georges provides technical support and handles the parts database and purchasing.

What's the story behind the company?

Where did the idea come from to Euro4x4parts?

I was running a manufacturing company producing transmission parts and we exported 80% of our production. We were being asked for more and more parts for Japanese vehicles and in particular 4x4.... With my industrial background and in particular exporting to Asia, I knew exactly where these parts were produced and how to supply them at a good price.

Initially, Euro4x4parts was the result of a pure marketing opportunity: 4x4 parts were hard to find and expensive, there was specialised press and media dedicated to enthusiasts which facilitated communication. It was also a niche market adapted to our profile in the automotive sector which was our common ground.

Do you compete?

I don't compete myself but I'm an avid fan of off-road rallying it's a fascinating discipline...

Competition had been tempting me for a long time. As ever, there's never enough time but in the end my passion for racing won the day. My track record up until now includes the 24 Hour French Off-Road Championship (Toyota), Breslau Poland, Breslau Balkans, Croatia Trophy and the Transilvania Aventura (Land Rover). At that is just the start....
