Wesco Group, a paint, body and equipment distributor in the U.S. and Canada, announced two additions: B&Z Auto Color, in Northern California, and Custom Colors, in Southern California.
B&Z has locations in Modesto, Stockton and Turlock, and has been servicing the Northern California market since 1923. The family has built a strong reputation over the years with customers and vendors alike.
“We welcome the B&Z Auto Color family and customers to the Wesco organization. We are excited about what the employees and customers will bring to our growing presence and growth initiatives in California,” said Lloyd White, CEO of Wesco Group.
Custom Colors has been servicing the Santa Maria Valley and surrounding areas (Southern California) for the past 56 years. Alan Tuck, the current owner, started working with his father (who owned the business at that time) in 1975 and has worked there ever since. Tuck will remain at the business after joining the Wesco team.
“We welcome Custom Colors to the team. This expands our footprint further south in California, and we are excited to team up to service customers and continue our growth initiatives in California.” White said.
The combined Wesco Group, which includes Wesco, Color Compass, and Kemperle, makes it one of the largest privately held PBE distributors in North America servicing customers from more than 137 stores, 13 distribution centers, 12 equipment divisions, and 11 training centers.
