Fun facts about LKQ CORP

1
The Basics
U.S. consumer discretionary company · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Tennessee · operates across North America and Europe.
2
The Numbers
Annual revenue in the range of $12–14 billion, built almost entirely by acquiring smaller operators rather than organic growth — hundreds of locations across multiple continents.

5
