The Reading Truck Group has signed an agreement to acquire Colorado-based Mastercraft Truck Equipment, a commercial truck, and van solutions provider.
With two locations in Colorado, the acquisition of the privately owned Mastercraft Truck Equipment furthers Reading Truck’s growth strategy and positions the company with 24 Reading Truck locations nationwide.
“Established in 1983, Mastercraft has been providing exceptional upfitting and parts services to its work truck and van body customers for close to forty years. They have an excellent reputation for successfully meeting the upfitting and equipment needs of its customers, a key focus for Reading Truck,” said Jeff Conrad, Interim President and CFO of The Reading Truck Group. “They are a great addition to our Reading Truck center network, and to our Reading Truck brand.”
Expanding National Footprint
Furthermore, the inclusion of Mastercraft Truck Equipment into J.B. Poindexter & Co.'s business units enhances its portfolio, alongside bolstering Reading Truck's presence across the nation.
Mastercraft Truck Equipment, which has been operating since 1983 and currently has two locations in the Denver, Colorado area, is work truck and van upfitting, as well as equipment sales and installation.
