MaxiPARTS, the Australian truck and trailer parts and accessories specialist, recently expanded its operations with the acquisition of yet another business, RW International Parts.
The addition brings the number of MaxiPARTS retail stores across the nation to 20.
The acquisition of the Wagga Wagga business will also see it move from its existing location at 132 Hammond Avenue to premises at 150 Hammond Avenue, with the significantly larger outlet – to be managed by long-time Wagga local, Wes Higgins – to be operational from March 3, 2014.
RW International Parts has been active in the Wagga Wagga area since its establishment in 1983.
Peter Loimaranta, the General Manager of MaxiPARTS, said the recent development was yet another step in the firm’s planned expansion.
“This strategic acquisition is complementary to the existing MaxiPARTS wholesale and retail network and will further improve our expanding coverage of the Australian market,” he said.
“Rex Waters, the current owner, will be remaining with the company for the next few months to help with the transition. So, regardless of the relocation, in a sense it will be business as usual.
“With the addition of MaxiPARTS’s diverse core product range, MaxiPARTS Wagga Wagga will be a one-stop shop for the area. So whether our customers are after a car fridge, tool kit, LED light, tyres, axles or suspensions, they will be able to find it at our store.”
