About Cam International, LLC
CAM International, LLC is based in Smyrna, Tennessee. The company was founded in 1973 by James C. Van Slyke, who had worked in the automotive aftermarket since 1936. Recognizing a need for a more organized approach to handling stock lifts, changeovers, buybacks, and overstock inventories, Van Slyke established CAM International to reduce costs and disruption for manufacturers while providing accountability and equitable recovery. The business remains family-owned and operated, now led by third-generation president Matt Van Slyke. CAM International operates as a redistributor and liquidator of genuine automotive aftermarket parts. The company purchases surplus inventory — including overruns, overstock, shelf-pulls, and packaging changes — from major manufacturers, warehouse distributors, and jobbers. Every piece is inspected, scanned, and packed at its facility, backed by a 30-day guarantee that parts are genuine (not reboxed or relabeled), currently cataloged, and in clean, salable condition. CAM describes itself as the oldest and largest aftermarket parts liquidator in the United States and Canada, with inventories spanning hundreds of brands and thousands of product lines. The company serves automotive aftermarket manufacturers, warehouse distributors, and jobbers. Manufacturers use CAM’s stock-lift and changeover programs to minimize displacement expense and maximize recovery on competitive inventory. Distributors and jobbers turn to CAM to liquidate single product lines or entire operations, and to purchase discounted inventory at 20–70% off normal cost. CAM also handles heavy-duty parts stock lifts. CAM International was started to bring accountability and equitable recovery to the stock-lift process, enabling warehouse distributors and jobbers to be more profitable and competitive. Its differentiators include a family-owned, third-generation leadership structure, a 3-way 30-day guarantee on every purchase, and specialization in manufacturer stock-lift and changeover programs.
