Arrowhead Engineered Products, the outfit that owns All Balls Racing, Hot Cams, Vertex Pistons and other leading aftermarket parts brands, has purchased Western Power Sports. Already known for its exceptional dealer service and wide array of leading house brands like FLY Racing, WPS serves nearly 12,000 dealer customers with more than 150 sales reps and seven U.S. distribution centers.
“This acquisition is an important step in our growth strategy and aligns with our mission to be the largest off-road aftermarket parts supplier in the world,” explains Arrowhead CEO John Mosunic. “WPS has a tremendous reputation with its dealer network and I’m thrilled to have their team lead our powersports segment. The combined power of Western Power Sports’ trusted distribution and dealer network with Arrowhead’s additional brands, global distribution footprint, and best-in-class supply chain network creates a powerful team giving dealers a wider selection of quickly available products.”
Former WPS controller and president Steve Lester steps up to the WPS CEO role, replacing former owner Craig Shoemaker. “Through the sale process, we spoke with several quality companies that expressed interest in WPS — Arrowhead was the only company with an excellent cultural fit and matched our commitment to customer service.” With both Arrowhead and WPS rooted in powersports and parts distribution, dealers and consumers will continue to enjoy the diverse product offering and exceptional customer service.
“Western Power Sports is a strong strategic fit with a complementary product offering and a passion for providing great service to dealers and consumers,” concluded Mosunic. “We will work together to ensure this combination supports our customers and benefits the entire industry.”
