Led by its president, David Wesselman, KOI serves the heavy-duty market from two warehouses in Cincinnati and from three additional warehouses in Dayton, Ohio; Lexington, Ky.; and Newport, Ky.
In addition, KOI is an automotive parts provider, with 75 locations in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia. KOI‘s business serves professional repair garages, collision centers, dealerships, municipalities, fleets and retail customers.
“KOI is known for its world-class customer service,” said Jim Pennig, vice president of business development for Vipar Heavy Duty. “Over the last several years, as the heavy-duty aftermarket distribution channel shifted in Cincinnati, KOI recognized the opportunity to expand their heavy-duty product offering.
