M&D announced Friday it has acquired Seidel Diesel Group. The acquisition includes the purchase of five divisions, 10 locations — Midwest Fuel Injection, Pacific Fuel Injection, International Fuel Injection, Metro Fuel Injection, and the diesel service center.
This is the second acquisition for M&D this year.
Seidel Diesel Group is headquartered in Bolingbrook, Ill., and has been a diesel remanufacturer of fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and turbochargers for more than four decades. The acquisition increases M&D’s geographical reach to 33 branches and establishes its presence in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. Both M&D and Seidel Diesel Group are members of the Association of Diesel Specialists.
Geret Seidel and his son, Ben Seidel, founded Seidel Diesel Group in 1981 and opened the first Midwest Fuel Injection location in Orland Park, Ill. Since then, the organization has added nine locations in seven states. Organizational growth was spurred by the duo’s commitment to superior quality and service and through strategic acquisitions.

M&D CEO Grant Garrett is excited about the opportunity to extend M&D’s presence into untapped territories and looks forward to incorporating Seidel’s industry expertise into M&D’s overall strategy.
“We’re very privileged to partner with the Seidel team,” Garrett says. “Ben and the Seidel Family have built a market-leading company with industry-best team members. We continue to be excited about our strong partnerships with best-in-class companies in our industry, expanding our national footprint and allowing us to offer over 100,000 part numbers. Ben Seidel has top-quality management that will make M&D stronger and allow us to execute our aggressive growth plans.”
