History

AUTODOC was founded in 2008 as E&S Pkwteile GmbH by Alexej Erdle, Max Wegner, and Vitalij Kungel.[8][9] In its early years, the company was located in Berlin-Weißensee.[10][11] Expansion into Austria and Switzerland began in 2011, followed by entry into the UK, France, Italy, and Spain in 2012.[12][13]

In 2015, the company rebranded as AUTODOC GmbH. By 2016, its annual revenue exceeded €100 million, and in 2017, it surpassed €250 million.[14] In 2018, AUTODOC expanded its product range to include spare parts for trucks and other commercial vehicles.

In 2018, the company was recognized by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe based on revenue.[15]

In 2019, AUTODOC signed a partnership with TecAlliance, a data company, to integrate B2B platform Order Manager, a multifunctional tool for the entire process from order to invoice.[16]

In September 2021, AUTODOC changed its legal form from a GmbH to an Aktiengesellschaft (AG). Since November 2022, the company has operated as AUTODOC SE (Societas Europaea).[17]

The company's annual revenue exceeded €1 billion for the first time in 2021.[18]

In 2024, AUTODOC had an annual revenue of around €1.6 billion.[19]

In 2025, the company sold 72.5 million items (up 12.4% from 16.8 million in 2024), with a total of 18.9 million orders, and 9.3 million active customers (up 10.4% from 8.4 million in 2024).

Between 2024 and 2025, the total number of customers increased by 16.9%, bringing the total number of customers since the company's foundation in 2008 to 30 million.

Operations and logistics

AUTODOC operates in 27 European countries and employs more than 5,000 people across 13 locations, including the headquarters in Berlin, a tech hub in Lisbon, Portugal, and further locations in.[19][20][21] Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Moldova, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.[22][23]

The company’s logistical infrastructure is centred around four hubs, with the largest in Szczecin, Poland, major regional warehouses in Cheb, Czech Republic, and Berlin, Germany, and a distribution centre serving the Western European market in Ghent, Belgium. The Szczecin logistics centre was opened in 2018 and expanded with a semi-automated distribution centre in September 2020.[24][25][26] InIn December 2022, a new logistics centre was completed with 40,000 m² of warehouse space, bringing the company's total warehouse area in Szczecin to approximately 70,000 m².[27][28][29]

An average of 200,000 units per day were shipped from the company's warehouses in 2025.
