Kriete Truck Centers, headquartered in Milwaukee with eleven locations across Wisconsin, has acquired Badger Truck Center in West Allis, Wisconsin. The new Kriete locations offers a full line of Class 3–8 trucks.
The newly acquired nearly nine-acre facility doubles Kriete's Milwaukee market presence. The site's location, one exit west of the Milwaukee Zoo Interchange, offers optimal accessibility for the company's growing customer base and supplier partner network.
The expansion enables Kriete to offer customers a full line of Class 3–8 trucks, including Mack, Volvo, Hino, Isuzu, and Autocar, from its new Milwaukee location, marking the company's third Milwaukee-based location since its founding in 1951.
