FleetPride announced this weekend it has acquired the assets of B&A Friction Material of San Jose, Calif., owned by Harry Amoroso.

The acquisition of B&A Friction Material will add to FleetPride’s robust presence in Northern California, the company says, while giving customers access to FleetPride’s national inventory of truck and trailer parts, heavy duty expertise, and world-class supply chain. FleetPride says it plans to merge B&A Friction with its own existing San Jose branch two blocks away, using B&A’s facilities to form one large location that will serve the South Bay and Peninsula areas.

“We are very excited about the addition of B&A Friction Material,” says Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and branch operations. “Harry and his team have a great reputation for aftermarket expertise, customer service, and a strong culture.”
