History

Grundare Mikael Thor och nuvarande VD Erik Stålebo

1991-1996

20 years of supplying spare parts for transmissions

In 1991 LBM Autoparts was founded by Mikael Thor in Lerum, Sweden. He was specialized on spare parts for automatic transmissions that he bought from USA. The name LBM is based on the original name Lerums Bil & Motor (Lerum cars and engines). LBM Autoparts was then placed in the docks in Gothenburg before the workshop was moved to Landvetter in 1996-97. In Landvetter Mikael was running the business from the basement in his house and was sending parts all over the country.

1998-2012

A wide range of spare parts from quality brands

Mikael was a man that had great relationships with the big suppliers in the states and visited them yearly. Mainly it was Alto, Precision and Transtar. The sore was growing and spare parts for transmissions as ZF, AW, GM and Jatco was added to the sort.
During this year’s Mikael hade a good relationship with STS (Scandinavian Transmission Service) and its founder Dan Stålebo and when the rumors that Mikael was about to sell the business Dan togheter with his sons Ola and Erik and also the co-owner Kenneth Berg was interested to buy LBM Autoparts.

New owners – new markets

LBM Autoparts CEO Erik Stålebo was back then CEO for STMAB in STS Group and they have been held talk that why not try to start or acquire company that sells transmission parts to make the company group more complete.
That was what they did! During the spring 2012 STS Group acquired LBM Autoparts and the business was moved from Landvetter to STSAB headquarter in Stenungsund in September. Erik Stålebo become the CEO for the company and the founder Mikael was working together with the new owner’s part time during the first year together with Helena Nordin that became a seller in LBM after 20+ years at STSAB. The summer after (2013) LBM recruited Tommy Pettersson to the sales team. Erik, Helena and Tommy was then a strong team at LBM for many years.

– I know that the market has enormous potential and also challenges. The technical development in the industry is going to quick and different kind of parts and units are keep coming. STMAB and STSAB is together Sweden’s biggest company group in transmission production for cars and have the knowledge and power to take LBM Autoparts forward and up to new levels, something I never will be able to do in the same way. Therefore I´m very happy about this solution for the company and for my customers. I wish them all luck for the future!
