American Tire Distributors, Inc. has
purchased the North Central Tire Group.
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.
