Perkins Launches eCommerce Platform for U.S. and Europe

Machine parts firm Perkins has announced the launch of new online storefronts for six of its distributors across the U.S. and Europe, enabling customers to more quickly order and receive genuine parts from the England-based company.

The new storefronts come as a response to customer demand across the two continents, the company says. More distributor storefront are on the way throughout the rest of 2026, with work to begin on launching online stores in a number of new countries.

“These new storefronts are delivering a seamless online experience for end-customers and retailers,” says Sena Apewokin, the company’s senior director of digital products. “These platforms make it easier than ever for customers to purchase genuine Perkins parts online, offering speed, convenience, and transparency.”

In the U.S., Clarke Powered Solutions will be receiving a new storefront for the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Elsewhere, Pathfinder Power Solutions will receive an online storefront for the Southeast. Monarch Power Supply will also have an online storefront for the Southwest and western corners, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Perkins’ European expansion

The company will launch online stores in Australia, Turkey, Germany, Canada, Poland, Spain and Belgium, by 2027. Perkins representatives say that the firm is focusing on solutions for Europe, designing a new storefront for DiPerk Power Solutions in England, as well as local-language storefronts for Secodi in France and BU Power Systems in Italy.

“A growing number of people want to order their parts online now,” Apewokin says. “The new storefronts make this a quick and simple process and once the order is placed, it is fulfilled by the local distributor. With a simple single sign on, customers can immediately see available stock levels and access promotions.

“Buying is simple with multiple ways to pay, including via credit card, purchase order and Google Pay.”

Perkins officials say that the company has received “a positive reaction” to the new platform. Thousands of orders have already been placed and shipped by both existing distributors and new customers, the firm says.

The new online storefronts will be available in-region as they come online, Perkins says.
