Leslie Doggett Industries announced Monday that through its recent acquisition of Truck Enterprises Group the company also has acquired a privately-held Great Dane trailer distributor/dealer.
This acquisition comes on the heels of Doggett’s acquisition of El Paso’s Truck Enterprises two weeks ago and Doggett’s acquisition of the Freightliner dealerships throughout the state of Arkansas last year. The addition of Great Dane complements Doggett’s existing Freightliner and Western Star dealerships in El Paso, Laredo and McAllen/Pharr as they will now sell and service flatbeds, dry freight and refrigerated vans with their over-the-road truck offerings.
Doggett Truck Group Senior Vice President Paul Burk says “the addition of Great Dane products to Doggett’s world-class lineup allows Doggett to further partner with trucking companies and truck dealers on a measurable and meaningful basis. We are very proud to be partners with Great Dane and expect to have extraordinary growth with their products just as we have had extraordinary growth in our truck (Freightliner), tractor (John Deere), forklift (Toyota), crane (LinkBelt) and auto businesses (Ford).”
Doggett says it acquired the business from trucking magnate and International Truck dealer, Royal Jones. The purchase price was undisclosed.
