MASSILLON, OHIO - A.R.E. announced the company was awarded a Government Service Administration (GSA) contract to sell its line of truck caps and tonneau covers to government agencies throughout the United States.

The GSA contract allows government purchasers to efficiently order an A.R.E. topper by visiting http://www.gsaadvantage.gov.  

As a leading manufacturer of truck caps and tonneau covers for more than 40 years, A.R.E. custom builds their products at its ISO-9001:2000-certified manufacturing facilities.  A.R.E. products currently available through the GSA website are the Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) Truck Cap made of fully welded aluminum frame construction for durability; the CX Series Truck Cap featuring a full walk-in rear door and screens for extra ventilation; the V Series Truck Cap that combines strength, style and function; and the LSII Series - the ultimate in custom-fitted hard tonneau covers with an exclusive Lift Assist gas strut system.

"We have a unique product that fills a niche for government purchasing managers at a reasonable cost," said Jim Blayne, commercial/fleet division sales manager for A.R.E.  "Our goal is to better serve our customers, which is why we independently underwent the review process to receive a GSA contract that saves government purchasers time and money with pre-approved pricing for A.R.E. truck caps and tonneau covers.  It also allows smaller municipalities to have the same efficiency advantages as a larger company."
