Power Heavy Duty added 18 distributors this year, bringing its network to a record 224 locations throughout the U.S. Its accelerated growth helped expand the footprint of the VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies, which acquired Power Heavy Duty in 2014. Today the network represents over 930-plus North American locations.
“As we enter the new year and the 35th anniversary of VIPAR Heavy Duty and the 30th of Power Heavy Duty, we celebrate a historic period of growth and achievement,” said VIPAR Heavy Duty president and CEO Chris Baer. “While we continue to strategically grow our Power Heavy Duty network, our members are also enjoying expansion by adding new locations, more product lines, increasing their customer base, and profitability. For us, our distributors, supplier partners and end-user customers, it’s a great time to be in the heavy duty truck parts business,” Baer continued.
