VIPAR Heavy Duty recently announced the launch of its Business Resource Center. This interactive tool, initially introduced at the 2018 VIPAR Heavy Duty Annual Business Conference, is an online resource available to stockholder distributors to support growth strategies and long-term planning options.

VIPAR says the new Business Resource Center includes business best practices, testimonials and resources to aid in preliminary planning, as well as throughout the complete lifecycle of a distributor’s business. The platform also will include an In-Network Buyers listing that will connect stockholder distributors with in-network distributors interested in potential investment or acquisition. Tools provided through the Business Resource Center support stockholder distributors’ business goals for growth, exit strategies and eventual transitioning.

“VIPAR Heavy Duty is diligent about establishing relationships that will assist our stockholders in the growth of their businesses, from business coaching and financial planning, to capital expansion and investments, the Business Resource Center provides a place for our stockholders to connect with those professionals and access tools that will help them achieve their goals for success,” said Wendi Frederick, certified exit planning adviser and manager of rebate administration, VIPAR Heavy Duty.

“We’re serious about truck parts distribution, and we are equally committed to our stockholders’ success,” said Chris Baer, president and CEO, VIPAR Heavy Duty. “The Business Resource Center is another way VIPAR Heavy Duty is working to maximize value and help our stockholders achieve their goals, at all stages of their business.”
