Reading Truck Group has reported the recent acquisition of Rayside Truck & Trailer, based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Rayside is a well-established regional work truck body, equipment, accessory and trailer upfitter and dealership. With this acquisition, the number of Reading’s sites have increased to 16 facilities nationwide.
“We are excited to welcome the Rayside team to the Reading Truck Group family. This strategic acquisition further establishes Reading as a nationwide manufacturer and upfitter of quality commercial truck bodies, equipment and services,” said Alan Farash, President and COO of Reading Truck Group. “Coupled with our most recent acquisition of Action Fabrication, the addition of Rayside allows Reading to better serve its customers located in the South East United States."
"The Southeast Florida location is what first attracted us to Rayside, but it quickly became apparent that this company has much more to offer. Their attention to detail and 'customer first' attitude is exactly what we look for in an acquisition and provides a solid base for Reading’s growth in South Florida," stated Eric McNally, Reading Truck Group’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
The combination of Rayside and Reading is a great fit, so joining Reading Truck Group will be beneficial to Rayside's team and customers. Reading shares Rayside's vision and is focused on providing its customers with the highest quality trucks and services in the nation.
