BBB Industries has acquired all of the assets of Stockton, Calif.-based QBR Brake, manufacturer and supplier of semi-loaded disc brake calipers and accessories to the automotive aftermarket in North America.
The transaction transfers all of QBR’s production and operation assets, intellectual property, inventory and brands to BBB, a remanufacturer of alternators and starters to the automotive, medium- and heavy-duty truck, industrial, agriculture, small engine and other markets. The company, headquartered in Mobile, Ala., also manufactures and remanufactures power steering products for OE and the aftermarket. BBB supplies its products through a network of more than 1,000 dealer locations.
QBR sells its products under the NuGeon, NHT, Axxis, and Nuchin brand names.
“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the assets of QBR Brake and are excited about the opportunity to add brake products to our growing portfolio of aftermarket service and repair parts,” said Joseph Felicelli, CEO of BBB Industries.
“Our power steering product line has provided the company with growth opportunities as our customers recognized that BBB’s product quality and service is also ingrained in our power steering product offering,” said Trey Smart, BBB’s executive vice president of sales and business development. “We expect to provide this same dedicated approach to our customers regarding calipers.”
