Jasper Engines & Transmissions recently opened a new location in New York state, and announced the winner of its 2025 President’s Award for outstanding sales.
The company’s newest location, its 53rd branch, is open in Albany, N.Y. The store shares its space with D&W and Weller Truck Parts, and is located at 51 Sicker Road, Suite 2, in Latham, New York, adjacent to the Albany International Airport.
“This facility is owned by Jasper Holdings and currently houses a D&W operation in the majority of the building,” says JASPER Director of Branch Operations Kevin Powell. “We are excited to now occupy the remaining space, which we will share with Weller Truck. This brings our total number of Jasper/Weller shared locations to 19.”
The branch is nearly 17,000 sq.-ft., in total, and Powell says the new location will enable Jasper to better serve customers in the region.
“Previously, we offered limited service to this market,” he says. “This new branch will allow us to increase availability and shorten lead times for our customers, extending further north than we were able to reach before.”
According to RigDig (owned by Fusable, parent company of TPS), there are 7,374 prospects operating more than 8,000 verified vehicles and 2,600 verified trailers within a 50-mile radius of Albany.

Based upon improvements in several sales categories, Jasper states it recognizes the President’s Award as its top branch honor. In addition, the Columbia branch won awards for the Most Improved Transmission Sales, and the Most Improved Sales Volume.
“This is a testament to our Operations and Sales Associates in the Columbia market,” says Joe McDonald, Jasper executive vice president of sales. “It’s a difficult award to win and it takes a high level of teamwork.”
