M&D Distributors, an independent aftermarket distributor of diesel-engine parts and components, announced its asset acquisition of Diesel Testers, a service dealer that provides diesel-engine parts and repair services through its retail location in Odessa, Texas.
Diesel Testers is M&D’s ninth branch location within Texas and Louisiana. Diesel Testers will serve as the company’s first branch location servicing customers within West Texas and the greater Permian Basin area, which has led North America’s resurgence in domestic oil and natural-gas production over the last several years.
M&D will continue to serve Diesel Testers’ customers at its existing location at 2850 Steven Road, with the ability to deliver M&D’s wide product portfolio of more than 100,000 new and remanufactured fuel-injection, turbocharger, engine-part and filtration products from leading OEMs and aftermarket suppliers.
“We are extremely excited to join forces with our long-time service dealer to better service our customers in west Texas,” said Trey Ingram, CEO of M&D Distributors. “M&D’s long reputation for excellence and product availability makes us an ideal partner to supply aftermarket diesel-engine parts within the Permian Basin region.”
Diesel Testers is M&D’s first acquisition since Warren Equity Partners acquired a majority interest in M&D in December 2018.
“We are excited to enter the rapidly growing and underserved Odessa market through the acquisition of Diesel Testers,” said Michael Zhang, vice president at Warren Equity Partners. “Our presence and investments will add tremendous value to our customers as the region continues to experience unprecedented levels of industrial activity.”
