VIPAR Heavy Duty Awards Strategic Partner Designation to Truck-Lite and ECCO

VIPAR Heavy Duty has recognized Truck-Lite and ECCO as its latest suppliers to earn the VIPAR Heavy Duty Strategic Partner (VSP) designation. The two companies, both part of Clarience Technologies, join an elite group of suppliers that demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting the organization’s distributors, fleets, and strategic initiatives across the heavy-duty aftermarket.

 

“Truck-Lite and ECCO bring exceptional value to our distributor network through their commitment to innovation, safety, and service,” said Larry Griffin, VIPAR Heavy Duty Vice President of Program Management. “Their strong support of fleets, investment in data quality, and product offerings that extend across key international markets align closely with our strategic priorities. We are pleased to welcome them as Strategic Partners.”

 

Truck-Lite and ECCO earned the designation by meeting key criteria established by VIPAR Heavy Duty, including active support of fleets through the organization’s National Accounts Program, meaningful contribution of product content to PARTSPHERE PIM®, VIPAR Heavy Duty’s Product Information Management system, and delivering comprehensive product programs that serve both VIPAR Heavy Duty and Power Heavy Duty distributors.

 

“We are honored that Truck-Lite and ECCO have been recognized as VIPAR Heavy Duty Strategic Partners,” said Brian Olsen, EVP and President, Visibility Solutions, Clarience Technologies. “This designation reflects our shared commitment to supporting distributors and fleets with innovative, high-quality solutions.  We value our partnership and look forward to continued collaboration to deliver value across the heavy-duty aftermarket.”

 

Suppliers that earn the VSP designation benefit from enhanced visibility and engagement opportunities, including special recognition and priority positioning at the IMPACT Conference, expanded branding across distributor touchpoints, and increased networking and collaboration with the VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies team and distributor members.

 

Truck-Lite and ECCO join the VSP group alongside Baldwin Filters, Donaldson Company, East Penn, Grote, Prestone, Tectran, and Tramec.
