Moog Louisville Warehouse, a distributor of automotive parts and supplies in the greater Louisville, Kentucky, and southern Indiana areas, announced a partnership with the Auto-Ware Group of Companies after finalizing the transaction on August 1. President and CEO of Moog Louisville Warehouse Doug Washbish will join the Auto-Wares board of directors and executive leadership team.

“I am most excited to announce that Moog Louisville Warehouse and its Bumper to Bumper stores have joined forces with Auto-Wares Group of Companies," said Washbish. "I’ve had the benefit of working with and sharing ideas with the team at Auto-Wares for some 25-plus years as a member of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance. There is no group of stores in the country that better shares the same 'go to market' strategy that has defined our company for 60-plus years other than Auto-Wares! Their honesty and integrity in everything they do is a perfect blend for our 'work hard and be nice' philosophy we practice. I am pleased to say I will continue to maintain a meaningful equity position of the overall company and will continue to run Moog Louisville with our current management and personnel that have made our company the leader in our region!”

"We are thrilled to welcome the Moog Louisville Warehouse, Doug Washbish, and his excellent team to the Auto-Wares family," said Todd Leimenstoll, president and CEO of Auto-Wares Group of Companies. "This partnership aligns perfectly with Auto-Wares' strategic goal of expanding our geographic footprint and market density. Doug's leadership and expertise will be invaluable as we move forward.”
