Workhorse Group Inc., an American technology company dedicated to advancing zero-emission commercial vehicles, has announced a partnership with W.W. Williams Company LLC (“Williams”) to provide service for its electric vehicles.
Initially, Williams will offer service through its PowerProducts Systems Division in Wakefield, Massachusetts, with plans to expand to additional locations as Workhorse grows its customer base.
“As we continue to expand and develop our top-tier aftersales support structure, we are excited to partner with Williams to further strengthen the service offerings available to our growing customer base,” said Scott Loomis, Vice President, Quality and Aftersales Support for Workhorse. “Williams provides Workhorse customers an expanded network of reliable service for our entire fleet of electric vehicles benefiting from their over 100 years of dedicated service, depth of experience, and support offerings.”
Mike Houston, National Sales Manager for Williams, added, “This is an exciting opportunity for us to further deepen our presence in the growing electric truck sector. Partnering with Workhorse is another opportunity to demonstrate that W.W. Williams is a leader in the ever-growing world of electric vehicles.”
In a separate development, on January 30, Brightstar Capital Partners, a middle-market and private equity firm, announced its acquisition of W.W. Williams from One Equity Partners.
"Williams has built an impressive reputation for quality service and technical expertise during its long and distinguished history,” said Reidar Brekke, a partner at Brightstar. “We see significant opportunities to partner with the leadership team and accelerate Williams' growth by expanding its offerings, continuing to support and grow its OEM relationships, executing a targeted M&A strategy, and investing in people and technology to enhance operational efficiency."
