401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. Joins VIPAR Heavy Duty Network

VIPAR Heavy Duty is pleased to announce that 401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc., headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, has joined the VIPAR Heavy Duty network of independent distributors, adding five locations to the organization’s network in Canada.

 

Founded in 2017, 401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. is a full-line heavy duty aftermarket distributor serving customers throughout the Toronto Area. It was started by Abdul Mian and David Langley with a vision to deliver a strong customer-focused approach to truck and trailer parts distribution. 

 

“We set out to build a business centered around accessibility and customer support with things like extended hours (all stores are open 7 days a week, 364 days a year) and hiring former truck mechanics to work on our counters. Most importantly, we listened to our customers and our valued vendors to ensure that we have the parts that they need when they need them,” said Langley.

 

401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. is led by Mian, Owner, their CFO Sofia Mian, their Vice President Umayr Mian, and Langley, Director of Sales and Marketing, who is a veteran of the heavy duty aftermarket with more than 30 years of industry experience. The organization employs approximately 40 team members and operates a fleet of delivery vehicles to support regional customers.

 

The company has grown from a single location into a multi-branch operation with facilities in Mississauga, Cambridge, London, Bolton, and Brampton, Ontario, supporting fleets, diesel and trailer repair shops, and government accounts across Canada’s largest trucking market.

 

At its headquarters in Mississauga, 401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. operates alongside ASA Truck Repairs (also owned by Mian) at the same facility. This integrated model allows drivers and fleets to source parts and complete repairs or preventative maintenance efficiently at a single location.

 

The company offers a comprehensive inventory with over 9,000 different parts in stock, including air and brake products, filters, cooling, lubricants, truck lighting, accessories, and specialized products such as wiring harnesses, NOx sensors, and DEF filters. Complementing its in-store inventory, 401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. provides delivery services for larger parts orders and maintains an experienced team of parts professionals to support customers. All locations offer flywheel resurfacing or exchange.

 

“With their presence in the Toronto market and commitment to customer service, 401 Heavy Duty Truck Parts Inc. is a good addition to the VIPAR Heavy Duty network,” said Joe Meyer, VIPAR Heavy Duty Vice President of Business Development. “Their integrated parts and service approach and continued investment in growth align well with our focus on supporting independent distributors and their customers in Canada.”

 

“As a company with an aggressive growth plan, the next logical step for us was to join a buying group. After looking at all of the available options, VIPAR Heavy Duty stood above all others with their vast supplier network and the support that they offered to their independent distributors. We are looking forward to building our business through them and their valued supplier partners,” said Langley.
