DexKo Global Inc. announced subsidiary Dexter Axle Company has acquired Silent Drive, which offers air suspensions for liftable tags and pushers, drive axle suspensions, as well as primary and auxiliary lift axles on trailers.
“The addition of Silent Drive to Dexter’s already-diverse product portfolio will further expand our specialty heavy duty and suspension capabilities, allowing continuous growth for both brands,” says Adam Dexter, Dexter president and CEO. “Our companies’ core foundations of innovation and delivering a quality product align exceptionally well.”
DexKo Global CEO Fred Bentley says, “Silent Drive has built a solid company, growing through product innovation and customer service. We appreciate their focus on industry-leading products and look forward to the continued growth this new partnership provides.”
The Silent Drive acquisition is the first for DexKo in 2020 after completing five acquisitions in 2019, the company says.
“We continue to broaden our industry-leading product offering, expand our geographic reach and diversify our customer base,” Bentley says.
