FleetPride Acquires Oregon Parts Distributor

Heavy-duty truck and trailer parts aftermarket distributor FleetPride Inc. said Monday it acquired E.H. Burrell Co., a distributor of original equipment manufacturer and aftermarket parts serving western Oregon and southwest Washington state.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 1918, E.H. Burrell was a third-generation family business when it was purchased in 1995 by Curtis Schott, a long time employee, and his wife Denise. Schott started his career at the company at the age of 16 and by his early 20’s he was a full-time salesman for the firm.

“The Schotts have been true partners in E.H. Burrell for over 13 years and we are very pleased that Curtis will stay on and become FleetPride’s area manager for Oregon after the acquisition is complete,” said Steve Turnlund, FleetPride’s western regional manager.
