history
Already in 1922 was the family Carl PEICHER, name-giving for the "P" of the current company name, founded and began the distribution of industrial and automotive needs. Since it was founded, the company has entered into numerous partnerships with specialist spare parts and other supplier companies. The company Karl Völlm, eponymous "V" of today's company name, was founded in 1945 . In the years that followed, the two companies worked together as partners until the two companies were merged to form “Peicher + Völlm KG” in 1967.
In the more than 90-year history of the company there have been other partnerships with other industry representatives, such as B. the company Trost from Stuttgart . The stylized letters "PV" of the company name, the initials of the founders Peicher and Völlm, were given to the company in 1991 as part of the change of name to "PV-Rudolf Kottheuser GmbH & Co. KG". In 2006 the company was finally renamed to PV Automotive. Stahlgruber Holding, based in Poing, will acquire 51% of the PV Group's shares subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. With the majority stake in the Essen-based trading company, PV becomes part of the Stahlgruber Group and, from 2014, part of the purchasing cooperation ATR International AG. Participation in the pit stop (workshop chain) is not associated with this.
Since it was founded in 1922, the company has pursued the policy of working with well-known brand manufacturers from the automotive industry. The cooperation partners include a. the companies Monroe , Luk , Ate , NGK , BERU and Bosch .
