American Tire Distributors, Inc. has completed its
acquisition of substantially all the assets of Lisac's of
Washington, Inc. and the capital stock of Tire Wholesalers,
Inc.
The two transactions are expected to significantly
strengthen ATD’s market position in the Northwest, according
to William “Bill” Berry, president and CEO.
Lisac’s operated distribution centers in Portland, Ore., and
Spokane, Wash. to serve more than 1,400 customers in
Montana, Washington, Oregon, and northern Idaho. A Tire
Wholesalers distribution center in Kent, Wash., covered more
than 750 customers in western Washington.
“Lisac’s and Tire Wholesalers have both developed solid
distribution businesses in their respective markets,” says
Berry. “ATD looks forward to building on their records of
success by offering an unmatched breadth and depth of
product, a strong offering of dealer marketing programs and
unsurpassed customer service.”
The company is moving forward with plans to open a 126,000-
square-foot distribution center in the Seattle area early
next year.
It currently has 86 distribution centers serving 39 states.
Berry reports that ATD focuses on helping tire and wheel
dealers compete with larger retailers “by offering the most
complete, coast-to-coast selection of tires, wheels and
related products and value-added services.”
Established in 1935, ATD has grown to more than 2,500
employees across its nationwide distribution network,
including 250 people in its Charlotte, N.C.-area field
support center, distribution center and regional hub.
