Multi Parts Acquires American Chrome Company 

MPS said the acquisition helps accelerate the company's growth in the heavy-duty channel.

Multi Parts (MPS) announced what it said is a significant milestone in its journey of expansion and innovation with the acquisition of American Chrome Company (ACC), “solidifying its commitment to delivering unparalleled quality and service to suppliers of vehicle aftermarket parts and their leading brands.”

Founded in 1983 by the Hou family, ACC began as a distributor of chrome wheel accessories for heavy-duty trucks.  Under the second-generation leadership of Linda Hou, the company has grown into a key supplier to OEMs and Tier suppliers in the Heavy-Duty truck and trailer markets, providing both aftermarket and production parts and accessories. ACC services these customers out of its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, 80,000 square foot distribution center in Bolingbrook, IL, according to Multi Parts.

“Every ACC customer that I have spoken with has praised the culture of service and quality built by the Hou family,” said Brian Cohn, CEO of MPS. “As a product of a family business myself, I am honored that they have chosen Multi Parts, and our sponsors at Radial Equity Partners to preserve and enhance that legacy.”
