“Every ACC customer that I have spoken with has praised the culture of service and quality built by the Hou family,” said Brian Cohn, CEO of MPS. “As a product of a family business myself, I am honored that they have chosen Multi Parts, and our sponsors at Radial Equity Partners to preserve and enhance that legacy.”

Founded in 1983 by the Hou family, ACC began as a distributor of chrome wheel accessories for heavy-duty trucks. Under the second-generation leadership of President Linda Hou, the company has grown into a strong supplier to OEMs and Tier suppliers in the heavy-duty truck and trailer markets, providing both aftermarket and production parts and accessories. ACC services these customers out of its ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified, 80,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Bolingbrook, IL.
“This is a great day for everyone at ACC,” said Hou. “MPS’ best-in-class ability to engineer mechanical, electrical, and electronic parts for every vehicle type is going to supercharge our ability to bring new products and services to our customers.”
