Aetna Truck Parts, which has worked in the truck parts industry since 1914, has acquired Douglas Truck Parts, a fellow provider of heavy-duty truck parts and services founded in 1917.
“This is more than a business transaction — it’s a joining of values,” said Gai Walny, vice president of Aetna Truck Parts. “Both companies were built on a foundation of trust, reliability, and technical know-how. Together, we’re not only preserving that legacy but expanding it to serve a broader customer base with unmatched decades of expertise.”
This acquisition unites two of the oldest names in the truck parts business in the Chicago market, each with deep roots in customer service, technical expertise, and a long-standing commitment to keeping fleets on the road and businesses moving.
As part of the integration, Aetna Truck Parts will leverage the expanded resources, inventory, and distribution network of Douglas Truck Parts, broadening their combined footprint.
Customers of both companies can expect a seamless transition with enhanced product availability, streamlined services, and a shared dedication to personalized, knowledgeable support.
