"This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing the Patriot brand and strengthening its market leadership across the Central United States," said Bobby Combs, general manager of MidAmerican Truck Parts. "Great Plains Urethane Distribution has built an exceptional reputation under Paul Reber's leadership, and we're excited to build upon that strong foundation while ensuring our customers continue to receive industry-leading service and technical support.“
Mid-American Truck Parts was established to facilitate this acquisition, with Patriot Liner spray-on bedliners forming the cornerstone of its long-term growth strategy. The combined organization will focus on expanding market penetration in:
Texas

South Dakota
"We're excited about the future with Mid-American Truck Parts as our new distribution partner,” said Josh DeLaune, president of Patriot Aftermarket Partners. “This transition positions us perfectly to leverage the strong foundation Great Plains established while bringing fresh resources and expanded capabilities to not only better serve our existing dealer network, but also to actively recruit and onboard new Patriot dealers across these key markets.”
The transaction is expected to create operational synergies while maintaining Great Plains Urethane's established customer relationships and service standards. The combined organization will benefit from enhanced operational scale, streamlined processes, and the integration of complementary expertise to drive efficiency and growth, according to Mid-American Truck Parts.
