Midwest Bus Parts and Hinton Transportation joined the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network in the fourth quarter of 2022.
For more than 50 years, Midwest Bus Parts has been a one-stop parts provider that offers weekly deliveries throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The company also ships nationwide.
"The aftermarket parts industry is our world," President Derek Berning says. "Anything we can do to help grow it, only helps us."
Hinton Transportation is a wholesale distributor of aftermarket and OEM heavy duty truck and trailer parts. It has been dedicated to bringing new life to transport equipment for more than 40 years and is owned by the Hinton family from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"If a company has any involvement in the heavy duty transportation industry, then there has never been a more important time to belong to an organization like CVSN. We look forward to collaborating with the other independent members of our industry to solve problems together."
Suppliers OPC Parts LLC, Energy Batter, Valcrum, Procede Software and Coronet Parts Manufacturing also joined CVSN in the fourth quarter.
"Our vision is to become the primary advocate for all of the independent commercial vehicle aftermarket, including the bus and trailer segments," says executive director Edward Kuo. "Both of these companies help us expand into other segments and we are excited they have chosen to join our organization."
