International. The merger will help customers overcome supply chain challenges, with increased inventory and faster deliveries.
S&S Truck Parts LLC (S&S) and Midwest Truck & Auto Parts Inc. (Midwest) announced that they have completed a merger of the two companies, creating what they call a powerful alliance with more than 70 years of service to their communities and shared commitments to quality, service and value.
According to both companies, the combination nearly doubles their collective business and forms a more diversified and scalable platform in the truck aftermarket space with the ability to source and deliver a wider selection of high-quality products to customers.
With greater scale and an expanded geographic presence, the merged company ensures it will help its customers navigate a complex and challenging global supply chain, increasing available inventory and enabling faster product delivery.
In March 2022, Investcorp, a global alternative investment firm, bought S&S Truck Parts.
In the combined organization, DJ Hoffman will serve as executive director. In the short term, the company expects operations to continue as currently structured.
"We are very excited to bring together the teams at S&S Truck and Midwest, two companies with similar values and a commitment to superior customer service," said DJ Hoffman, CEO of S&S Truck.
"Our combination increases the breadth of our offerings to our customers, strengthens the depth of our workforce and business partnerships, and ultimately accelerates our ability to grow and deliver a more comprehensive, modern and effective customer experience. We look forward to working closely with the Midwest team and together becoming an even stronger business as we continue to serve our customers."
Mark Chudacoff, CEO of Midwest, said: "We are pleased to find a high-quality partner in S&S Truck and look forward to combining our capabilities, infrastructure and human capital to drive new growth in the business."
"I have long been an advocate for the promise of innovation and partnership, such as the one that has driven this merger. Our combination will deliver clear benefits for both customers and employees of the companies, and our commitment to maintaining and improving the communities in which we operate will remain strong."
