Johnson & Towers and Western Branch Diesel Join Business

June 27, 2019 By InTheBite Author

MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT – Johnson & Towers with Western Branch Diesel

June 28, 2019

We are pleased to announce that Johnson & Towers, Inc. and Western Branch Diesel, Inc. have closed on a transaction merging the respective organizations. Johnson & Towers, LLC and Western Branch Diesel LLC, along with Johnson Truck Center LLC and Dovell & Williams LLC will all fall under the newly created INDEL POWER GROUP LLC.  We will continue to go to market with our existing and well- known brands.

Johnson & Towers and Western Branch Diesel have 165 years of combined experience as Distributors for Detroit & MTU engines and Allison Transmissions. Additionally, both companies are in the standby Power Generation business and are distributors for Volvo Penta marine diesels

Johnson Truck Center in Landover MD and Manassas, VA are Freightliner, Western Star and Autocar truck dealers. Dovell & Williams is an Isuzu truck dealer in Glen Burnie MD and Frederick MD. Both Johnson Truck Center and Dovell and Williams are Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Dealers in Manassas, VA and Glen Burnie MD respectively

This merger brings together two very strong and successful family organizations sharing the same foundation in the diesel engine business. Our companies have known each other for many years and hold similar values and philosophies including honesty and integrity, excellent customer service, and treating our valued employees with care and respect.

This creates a very exciting opportunity for both companies, our employees, and our customers. It gives us an East Coast marine footprint from NY to South Carolina where we represent MTU and/or Volvo Penta and a seven state, 19 location network to leverage and grow our On-Highway brands and a robust Fleet Management business. Additionally, our MTU Power Generation business will enjoy a 9-state network to service stand-by power generation.

We’re truly excited about this merger of long-standing family businesses and we look forward to being able to service our existing and new customers across an expanded geography with increased resources.
