National Pronto Association Adds Connecticut Warehouse To Membership

GRAPEVINE, Texas – National Pronto Association has announced the addition of Connecticut Warehouse with locations in Branford, Conn., Seabrook, N.H., and North Attleboro, Mass., to the Pronto membership. The change became effective March 1.

Connecticut Warehouse recently expanded its business and acquired Jack Young Co. and Central Automotive Warehouse in Alston, Mass.

Founded in 1959, Connecticut Warehouse has demonstrated a solid commitment to support and serve the growing needs of New England’s automotive aftermarket. Today, Connecticut Warehouse is New England’s largest distributor of ACDelco and Motorcraft parts. Owned and operated by the Pluck family, the warehouse is a family business.

“We believe in the loyalty and integrity a family operated business can bring to the automotive parts industry. The fact we are a family business shows the dependability of our service and the loyalty we share with our customers. Connecticut Warehouse hopes to serve the automotive aftermarket for generations to come,” a representative of the Pluck family stated.

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.”
