Truck Hero Announces Further Business Expansion In Ann Arbor, Michigan

Truck Hero Inc. has announced the purchase of an additional office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The new location totals 60,000 square feet and is located near the company’s existing facilities. This office will house Truck Hero’s Center of Excellence for Research, Development and Testing to support the company’s innovation pipeline of aftermarket truck and Jeep accessories.

“We’re excited to invest in the growth of our brands by expanding our research and development capabilities with this new facility,” said Bill Reminder, president and CEO of Truck Hero. “Over the past several years, Truck Hero has seen exceptional growth through increased market share, acquisitions and new products. This center supports our mission to be the leading developer and manufacturer of aftermarket truck and Jeep accessories.”

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
