H-E Parts International (HEPI), a provider of aftermarket solutions for the mining and heavy equipment industries, has agreed to acquire substantially all the assets of Brake Supply Inc, a North American leader in aftermarket components for heavy equipment.

“This acquisition allows us to strengthen our offerings and expand our footprint,” Simon Pelletier, CEO of H-E Parts, says. “By welcoming Brake Supply into the H-E Parts family, we are combining our capabilities to offer an even wider range of products and services to our customers. We are excited to bring Brake Supply’s associates, customers, and suppliers into our organisation.”
