FleetPride, an aftermarket distributor of heavy-duty truck and trailer parts, announced that it has acquired the assets of Angelo Fleet & Industrial Supply Inc. of San Angelo, Texas. Terms were not announced for the acquisition, which brings the total number of FleetPride locations in Texas to 17.
“This new location in San Angelo, combined with our locations in Amarillo and Lubbock, gives us extensive coverage of West Central Texas, and will allow us to more quickly service this region’s significant oil field and agricultural industries,” said Mike Paxton, vice president of business development and strategic planning for Fleetpride, based in The Woodlands, Texas.
Angelo Fleet & Industrial Supply has been in business since 1982 and is the primary independent heavy-duty parts distributor in San Angelo and its surrounding markets. FleetPride will continue to operate in the 11,000-square-foot facility located at 4106 South Chadbourne.
“Owners Larry and Donna Ripley are known for providing unparalleled customer service, quick delivery and dedication to doing things right the first time – all of which mirror the FleetPride business philosophy,” said Lee Stockseth, vice president of operations and the company’s Central region. “Larry Ripley will stay on as branch manager, and employment offers have been extended to all employees. The Angelo Fleet & Industrial Supply team brings immeasurable experience in the heavy-duty parts business, making them an important addition to our FleetPride family.”
