World Parts Manufacturer Identifier

A World Parts Manufacturer Identifier (WPMI) code is a code used to uniquely identify manufacturers of vehicle parts in the global automotive industry. It is defined by ISO 4100.

It is the parts manufacturer analogue to VIN's World Manufacturer Identifier. Unlike VIN numbers however, WPMI codes aren't intended to uniquely identify each part, merely to identify the manufacturer.

    Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof—that’s a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
