NCT serves more than 2,700 customers out of distribution centers in Cincinnati and Canton, Ohio along with another DC in Rochester, N.Y.
The acquisition will strengthen ATD’s market position in Ohio and western New York, according to William “Bill” Berry, ATD’s president and CEO.
NCT does not own retail stores and, like ATD, focuses its resources on the distribution infrastructure and customer service, he says.
“North Central Tire developed a well-respected distribution business in their market,” Berry reports.
“ATD looks forward to building on their records of success by offering an unmatched breadth and depth of product, a strong array of dealer marketing programs, and unsurpassed customer service,” he adds.
ATD currently has 90 DCs covering 39 states. The company 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, says Berry.
The company has more than 2,500 employees, including 250 people in its Charlotte, N.C.-area field support center, distribution center and regional hub.
