The partnership offers a single national destination for auto electrical needs, explains BAPCOR

Three of Australia’s best-known auto electrical specialists – JAS Oceania, Baxters, and Federal Batteries – have combined to form the JAS Auto Electrical Group.
“Bringing JAS Oceania, Baxters, and Federal Batteries together under JAS Auto Electrical Group marks a defining moment for our industry and for our customers,” JAS Auto Electrical Group General Manager, Daniel Torre, said.
“By unifying three trusted industry experts, we are creating a stronger, more innovative and more responsive partner for workshops nationwide.
“Our customers will benefit from deeper expertise, an expanded product range, faster access to parts, and the same dedicated support they have always relied on from more branch locations than ever before.”
The new group brings together extensive product coverage for customers across automotive electrical, air conditioning, lighting, heavy duty and industrial applications, as well as battery and energy solutions.
JAS Auto Electrical Group says this results in a simpler purchasing experience, improved availability, and access to specialist knowledge through a unified national network.
Daniel says that by aligning the strengths of each business under the JAS Auto Electrical Group identity, customers will benefit from:
• A broader and more complete range across auto electrical categories;
• Improved product availability supported by efficient national distribution;
• Faster access to parts through an expanded national branch footprint;
• Deeper technical support and specialist expertise for passenger, commercial, industrial and mining applications; and
• More competitive pricing delivered through a larger, unified supplier network.
JAS Oceania, founded in 2005, has grown from three Melbourne branches to 39 national locations by 2023, supporting the trade with automotive electrical, air conditioning and lighting products, alongside digital tools such as the eJAS Online System and a national training facility.
Baxters, established in 1978, supplies the heavy duty, industrial and mining sectors through 11 distribution centres nationwide and is recognised for its technical leadership and highly specialised customer support.
Federal Batteries, founded in 1990, strengthens the group’s capability in battery and energy storage solutions across automotive, marine, solar and industrial segments, with a strong reputation for product quality and reliable supply.
Together, the JAS Auto Electrical Group seeks to position itself as a single source of auto electrical solutions, while maintaining the service, relationships and expertise customers already trust.
The JAS Auto Electrical Group is part of BAPCOR Ltd (ASX:BAP).
