The VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies announced its network of independent parts distributors and service specialists has grown to more than 920 locations throughout North America this year, strengthening its ability to comprehensively serve the industry’s aftermarket.

 

The network includes more than 240 VIPAR Heavy Duty stockholders and Power Heavy Duty members who comprise its expansive footprint, including nearly 600 service locations. The VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies supports these businesses by providing True Group Value, which includes strategic supply-chain management, world-class products from premium brands, technology-driven solutions, and marketing and communications resources, among other tools and services.

 

“Throughout our nearly 35-year history, VIPAR Heavy Duty has strategically expanded the breadth of services we offer to support our distributors and supplier partners, with an unwavering focus on serving the full range of aftermarket needs for our mutual end-user customers,” said VIPAR Heavy Duty President and CEO Chris Baer. “The VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies is well-represented across North America with locations throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Our network not only leads the industry in its footprint and quality of distributors, but also in its shared dedication to providing best-in-class customer service through unparalleled parts and service support. It’s a great time to be in the heavy duty truck parts business!"

 

VIPAR Heavy Duty was founded in 1989 by 20 distributor stockholders. In 2014, it acquired Power Heavy Duty adding to the VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies. Now with an estimated $2.5 billion at the final point of sale and coast-to-coast locations throughout North America, the VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies consists of a wide range of businesses – from single-location stores to companies with dozens of locations – all meeting the demands of their local, regional and national customers for quality parts and exceptional service.
