IRVING, Texas and MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FleetPride Inc. ("FleetPride") and TruckPro, LLC ("TruckPro") jointly announced the closing of a merger of the two companies effective today, creating the nation's leading independent distributor and service provider in the heavy-duty aftermarket parts industry. The combined company will operate under the FleetPride name and will deliver enhanced value to its customers through greater parts availability, deeper technical expertise, best-in-class service and an enhanced ecommerce experience.
Operating under the combined ownership of American Securities and Platinum Equity, the new FleetPride will be led by Tom Greco, who joined the company as chief executive officer in July 2025. Chuck Broadus, TruckPro's president and CEO, will continue to lead the TruckPro business, reporting to Tom Greco. Chuck will work closely with Tom and support the integration efforts over the coming months.
With over 450 locations, more than 110 service centers and six distribution centers, FleetPride's expanded footprint positions it to serve customers nationwide across the U.S. and Canada with the industry's most comprehensive assortment of parts. Through its enhanced ecommerce platform and logistics network, FleetPride can provide faster access to critical parts, deeper inventory visibility and tailored solutions designed to keep trucks on the road and fleets operating efficiently.
"Today's announcement marks an exciting new chapter for our team members, customers and valued supplier partners," said Tom Greco, chief executive officer of FleetPride. "This strategic merger is about more than combining two businesses, it's about building a culture that values people, brings best practices from both organizations and drives innovation. Together, we are creating a stronger, faster-growing company that will deliver greater value for customers and growth opportunities for our team members and suppliers."
"The strategic merger with FleetPride marks a tremendous step forward for our business and customers," said Chuck Broadus, president and chief executive officer of TruckPro. "We are bringing together the strengths of both organizations as we align our knowledgeable team members, extensive networks and resources to deliver best-in-class service to the heavy-duty aftermarket. We are eager to embrace the many growth opportunities this combination offers and we are excited about our future together."

"By combining two high-performing businesses with complementary strengths, we're building a platform with the scale, technology and talent to lead the industry and deliver sustainable growth for customers, team members and suppliers alike."
"We've long thought these businesses were destined to come together and have been developing this opportunity since we first acquired TruckPro," said Louis Samson, co-president of Platinum Equity. "We chose to join forces because we get excited about the strategic logic and substantial operational opportunity to create long-term value. We look forward to helping accelerate the combined company's transformation and ability to better serve customers."
