U.S. AutoForce is expected to close on an acquisition of Pacific Tire Distributors, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, on Sept. 11. Pacific Tire Distributors currently operates four distribution centers.

“This strategic opportunity to combine Pacific Tire Distributors and U.S. AutoForce will further enhance the products and services our customers experience in the Northwest,” Pat Hietpas, president of U.S. AutoForce, said.

“In such a competitive landscape, this opportunity allows us to combine the Pacific Tire Distributors and U.S. AutoForce extensive brand inventory and product offerings, while expanding our services in the Pacific Northwest,” Hietpas said.
