The acquistion will give customers access to FleetPride's national inventory of truck and trailer parts.

FleetPride, Inc. has acquired the assets of B&A Friction Material of San Jose, California, owned by Harry Amoroso.

FleetPride plans to merge B&A with its own existing San Jose branch two blocks away, using B&A's facilities to form one large location that will serve the South Bay and Peninsula areas.

"We are very excited about the addition of B&A Friction Material," said Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and branch operations.  "Harry and his team have a great reputation for aftermarket expertise, customer service, and a strong culture."
