Alliance Fleet Expands National Footprint and Strengthens Executive Leadership

ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alliance Fleet (“Alliance Fleet” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of Owner Resource Group LLC’s affiliates (“ORG”) – an Austin, Texas-based private investment firm – is pleased to announce that the Company is expanding its geographic presence to better serve customers through its acquisition of Vital Truck & Van (“Vital”), a rapidly growing light commercial vehicle upfitter operating out of Illinois and Colorado.

The combination of Alliance Fleet and Vital is a significant step toward their shared vision to create a national dropship upfitting facility network to better serve national, regional, and local customers through accelerated delivery times, enhanced customer responsiveness, simplified logistics, and tailored solutions.

“We could not be more thrilled to welcome Vital into the Alliance Fleet organization,” said Alliance Fleet CEO Jeff Bell. “Their dedication to their customers aligns perfectly with Alliance Fleet. Together, we can continue to raise the bar in the industry as we strengthen our compelling value proposition for our customers.”

Alliance Fleet is pleased to share that Vital’s founders, Corey Stanley and Neil Garlock, will be joining the leadership team of the Company in the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and will continue to have an ownership stake in the Company going forward alongside Mr. Bell. Mr. Stanley and Mr. Garlock’s deep industry experience, strong customer relationships, and proven operational excellence, combined with the strength of the Alliance Fleet leadership team – led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bell – position the Company well to accelerate the Company’s expansion.

“This was a big decision for us, and we were not for sale. However, in Jeff Bell and Alliance Fleet, we found a like-minded industry leader that shares our vision and is similarly laser focused on keeping customers at the center of every decision,” said new Alliance Fleet President Corey Stanley. “The opportunity to join forces was compelling enough that we are excited to roll one hundred percent of our ownership into the combined organization and continue with Alliance Fleet as executives and owners.”

“Through this combination, we have collectively taken a significant step toward our shared vision,” said Neil Garlock, new Alliance Fleet COO. “I look forward to working with the Alliance Fleet team to continue to provide unmatched service and quality across the Company’s geographic footprint as we continue to grow.”
