VIPAR Heavy Duty will merge its VHD Equipment Network of distributors into the Power Heavy Duty network effectivenext year.
VIPAR Heavy Duty acquired the Power Heavy Duty organization in late December 2013. The combined group will represent more than 140 distributor companies with over 210 locations coast to coast and more than 175 existing supplier and business service programs.
“We are pleased to welcome members of the VHD Equipment Network to Power Heavy Duty, which will help drive more value for our distributors and suppliers,” says Chris Baer, executive vice president of VIPAR Heavy Duty and president of VHD Equipment Network. “This transition will allow us to continue to grow as a group, and help us develop and deliver even more programs and tools for our collective members.”
Baer adds the combination of the two groups will allow the organization to maximize efficiencies while focusing on growing business with members, supplier partners and their collective customers.
The Power Heavy Duty network and its members have a strong service and repair focus in addition to serving customers with traditional parts distribution. VHD Equipment Network members share in the service and repair focus with an additional concentration on truck-mounted equipment.
