Abel Truck Parts has joined the VIPAR Heavy Duty network of distributors as a stockholder.
Located in Independence, Ohio, Abel Truck Parts is a distributor of parts to the heavy-duty truck and off-road equipment industry in Northeast Ohio. In addition to parts sales the company also manufactures custom hydraulic hose assemblies.
Abel Automotive Supply was established in 1922 by Walter Abel. It was originally a machine shop that machined engines for the trucking industry.
The company was purchased in 1984 and was renamed Abel Truck Parts to better reflect the industry it served. Under the current ownership of Michael and Daniel Passalacqua, Abel Truck Parts continues to service the Cleveland, Ohio marketplace.
“We are pleased to welcome Abel Truck Parts to the VIPAR Heavy Duty family,” says Jim Pennig, vice president of business development for VIPAR Heavy Duty. “With our portfolio of industry leading brands, we look forward to helping our newest stockholder grow and expand their business while providing solutions to their customers’ parts replacement needs.”
