Jupiter, Florida-headquartered Multi Parts (MPS) has announced its acquisition of American Chrome Company (ACC) of Bolingbrook, Illinois, helping to solidify its position in the aftermarket parts sector and the provision of leading brands.
Founded in 1983 by the Hou family, ACC began as a distributor of chrome wheel accessories for heavy-duty trucks.
Under the second-generation leadership of Linda Hou, the company has grown into a key supplier to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and tier suppliers in the heavy-duty truck and trailer markets, providing both aftermarket and production parts and accessories.
ACC services these customers out of its ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified, 80,000-square-foot distribution center in Bolingbrook.
“This is a great day for everyone at ACC,” said Linda Hou. “MPS’ best-in-class ability to engineer mechanical, electrical, and electronic parts for every vehicle type is going to supercharge our ability to bring new products and services to our customers.”
Brian Cohn, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, added, “Every ACC customer that I have spoken with has praised the culture of service and quality built by the Hou family.
“As a product of a family business myself, I am honored that they have chosen Multi Parts and our sponsors at Radial Equity Partners to preserve and enhance that legacy.”
MPS is a developer and provider of vehicle aftermarket parts to suppliers and their leading global brands. MPS has a fully integrated global operating network that provides product design and development, manufacturing, testing and quality control, logistics, and customer support from the company’s locations in North America, Europe, and Asia.
