FleetPride, Inc. does it again, this time acquiring the assets of Zender's Truck & Equipment, Parts & Service, Inc., based in Bellingham, Washington.
FleetPride is described as the largest US distributor of truck and trailer parts and service provider in the independent heavy-duty aftermarket. Zender's has been providing parts and services to the heavy-duty trucking industry for over 20 years.
Its acquisition is part of FleetPride's strategy to continue expanding its presence in the heavy-duty aftermarket.
"We're delighted to welcome Bruce and the entire Zender team to the FleetPride family, with their wide-ranging expertise, outstanding service, and loyal customers," stated Mike Harris, the President of FleetPride’s Parts and Service. "Zender's Truck & Equipment has a strong culture, which is reflected in their talent and robust customer following that fits very well with our vision and values. We look forward to supporting the Zender's team."
Bruce Zender, the now-former owner of Zender's Truck & Equipment, Parts & Service, said that "joining FleetPride is a tremendous opportunity for our team and customers. This move will help us continue to provide superior customer service and support for our customers."
This acquisition provides customers in northwest Washington with access to FleetPride's advanced supply chain and provides future employees with career development opportunities, including FleetPride Tech University. In addition, it marks the company's first service location on the west coast.
"Establishing a comprehensive parts and service footprint [across the country] maximizes our ability to support customers with technical expertise in [the] local markets we serve," said Harris. "It also enables large regional and national fleets to leverage our scale for greater uptime and lets them access our broad assortment of products and e-commerce solutions on FleetPride.com."
