It entered markets such as Bismarck, Omaha, Phoenix, and Denver, expanding its core focus to better serve the automotive aftermarket. Today, as an aftermarket distribution partner with original equipment suppliers, FMP serves markets in the Midwest, Mountain States, Southwest, Northeast, North Carolina, and West Coast including Alaska.
