Driving Innovation: How an NB Family Business is Redefining Automotive Performance Across Canada

At GAP, everything starts with people.

For over 40 years, we’ve grown from a family-run business in Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick, into a national supplier trusted by more than 2,000 dealerships and service centres across Canada. From preventative maintenance programs to chemical solutions, our mission has always been the same: support the people who keep vehicles moving, and the businesses that rely on them.

This year, that commitment to innovation was recognized in a way we’ll never forget.

Innovation Recognized, Impact Expanded

GAP Professional Products was honoured by Opportunities New Brunswick for our breakthrough in developing chemistry that effectively eliminates carbon buildup from combustion engines. This is a solution that reduces emissions and enhances fuel efficiency across the automotive sector.

This recognition marks our second consecutive award from ONB, reinforcing our drive to build smarter, more sustainable solutions for our industry.

Receiving this kind of recognition from a provincial body is a moment of pride for our team. While the award may come from our home of New Brunswick, the impact we’ve created is national. From coast to coast, we’ve built a reputation for delivering results — proving that our roots are deep, and our reach is wide.

What Innovation Looks Like

We earned this latest award by doing something bold — rethinking how fuel additives work.

Our new product line helps reduce emissions, improve fuel economy, and achieve better results with fewer bottles. The formulation is 100% our own, manufactured right here in Canada, and designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind. 

While the market is full of similar promises, few can say they’ve built a cleaner-performing solution that does more with less — and even fewer can say it’s made domestically. It’s one of many solutions we offer that aim to support smarter, more sustainable performance across the board.

At a time when drivers and dealerships alike are focused on efficiency, this innovation sets us apart. It’s a smarter solution that aligns with the needs of today’s vehicles, today’s economy, and today’s environmental expectations.

Leading by Growth, Not Just by Volume

We’ve achieved remarkable eight-figure growth — a testament to the power of innovation and partnership

With the recent merger of GAP Professional Products and M&M Automotive Solutions, we’ve expanded our reach even further, solidifying our place as one of Canada’s fastest-growing chemical manufacturers.

And yet, we’re just getting started.

A Thank You That Means Something

To every dealership, service centre, and partner that has worked with us — thank you. Your loyalty, feedback, and collaboration have helped us build something real.

To our team, thank you for being all-in, every day. This award is your win, too.

And to our industry, thank you for embracing Canadian-made solutions and helping us raise the standard for performance and partnership.

What’s Next 

We’re not chasing trends. We’re building long-term solutions — and long-term relationships. That means:

• Continuing to develop efficient, high-performing chemical solutions
• Delivering the kind of training that helps dealerships retain their best people
• Staying agile, grounded, and committed to the values that got us here

Because dealership performance still rides on people.
And we’ll be with you for the long road.
