Reading Truck Group announced the acquisition of Rayside Truck & Trailer (Rayside), based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Rayside is a well-established regional work truck body, equipment, accessory, and trailer upfitter and dealership. With the addition of Rayside, the number of Reading’s sites increases to 16 facilities nationwide.
Additionally, Alan Farash, president and COO of Reading Truck Group, says the company is excited to welcome the Rayside team. He also states that the acquisition further establishes Reading as a nationwide manufacturer and upfitter for bodies, equipment, and services. “The addition of Rayside allows Reading to better serve its customers located in the Southeast United States,” Farash says.
Further, Charles Rayside, Rayside president and founder, states, “The combination of Rayside and Reading is a great fit. Joining Reading Truck Group will be beneficial to our team and our customers. Reading shares our vision and is focused on providing its customers with the highest quality trucks and services in the nation.”
Established in 1979, Rayside Truck and Trailer has built its reputation on quality workmanship and customer service. “The Southeast Florida location is what first attracted us to Rayside but it quickly became apparent that Rayside has much more to offer,” says Eric McNally, Reading Truck Group’s VP of sales and marketing. “Their attention to detail and ‘customer first’ attitude is exactly what we look for in an acquisition and provides a solid base for Reading’s growth in South Florida.”
