GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — The Automotive Distribution Network (ADN) has added two new members under its Auto Pride brand, according to Mike Lambert, president of the Network.

Owned and operated by the Pluck family, B&I Auto Supply has been engaged in the sale and distribution of original equipment auto parts for more than 47 years. With headquarters in Fort Washington, Pa., and warehouses in four other locations, B&I has plans to expand beyond its product offerings to the service dealer market.

"We're an ever evolving company," said Kevin Pluck, president of B&I. "We feel that Auto Pride will not only help strengthen our existing customer base but enable us to expand into other segments."

Cal-State Auto Parts was established in 1971 and is owned by Rick DeBlasi and Steve Brooker. With headquarters in Anaheim, Calif., and seven additional locations in the southwest United States, Cal-State has prided itself on personal service to its service dealer base of customers.

"This is a beneficial situation for everyone involved," DeBlasi said. "I'm confident that the Auto Pride Network will provide us with the additional tools necessary to expand our market share."

With this addition, the Auto Pride Network reaches a total of 71 members across North America with over 200 distribution points.

"We consider ourselves a family, and these two new members will be an excellent addition to the Network," says Steve Tucker, Auto Pride vice president.

Operating under the brands of Parts Plus, IAPA, Auto Star, Auto Pride, CMB and Network Products, The Automotive Distribution Network is one of the largest and most diverse program groups in the automotive aftermarket.
