U.S. Autoforce, based in Combined Locks, Wis., has acquired the wholesale assets of five tire dealerships: Foree Tire Distributors, Midstates Tire Distributors, Schiebout Tire, Shumaker Tire Inc. and Waukegan Tire.
U.S. Autoforce, a unit of U.S. Venture Inc., closed the deal for Rochester, Minn.-based Midstates in late January. The company completed the acquisitions of Denver-based Foree; Pella, Iowa-based Schiebout; and Golden, Mo.-based Shumaker Tire’s wholesale business at the end of 2012. The deal for Waukegan, Wis.-based Waukegan Tire’s wholesale unit was completed in August 2012.
With the buys, U.S. Autoforce has expanded its distribution footprint by eight warehouses, reaching further west into Colorado. U.S. Autoforce now has 18 warehouses in eight states, serving customers in more than 20 states stretching from Michigan to Colorado and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.
