About Dorman Products, Inc.
About Dorman Products, Inc.
Dorman Products marketed approximately 144,000 distinct aftermarket replacement and upgrade parts under the Dorman, Dayton Parts, and SuperATV brand names as of December 31, 2025, introducing 5,560 new distinct parts during the year. The company serviced approximately 9,000 active accounts, primarily North American retailers, wholesale distributors, and specialty dealers, with two customers each representing more than 10% of net sales and together accounting for roughly 40% of net sales in 2025.
Dorman earns revenue across three vehicle market sectors — light-duty (passenger cars and trucks), heavy-duty (medium and heavy commercial vehicles), and specialty (UTVs and ATVs via SuperATV) — with the majority of net sales coming from repair-category parts rather than discretionary upgrades. Light-duty parts reach consumers and professional installers through aftermarket retailers, dealers, and warehouse distributors. The company sources roughly 77% of product purchase volume from non-U.S. suppliers, with approximately 38% from China, making it subject to tariff pass-through dynamics; beginning in the third quarter of 2025, Dorman implemented price increases to offset new tariff costs, though management noted the increases compressed gross margin percentages without adding profit dollars. Competitors in light-duty aftermarket include Standard Motor Products, Tenneco, Gates Corporation, Bosch Auto Parts, and ACDelco (General Motors), among others named in the 10-K.
Show full overview
The two top customers representing roughly 40% of net sales in 2025 — each individually above 10% — constitute the sharpest single-point dependency in the business. Dorman's contracts with these buyers typically lack purchase commitments and rely on individual purchase orders, meaning either customer could reduce or redirect demand without contractual recourse. The 10-K notes that ongoing consolidation in the aftermarket industry may amplify this risk, as larger buyers gain greater bargaining power to demand lower pricing, extended payment terms, and higher return allowances — trends the company says it expects to continue.
