Adelman's Truck Parts Celebrates 100 Years!
Adelman's Truck Parts and Sales Corporation was founded in 1921 by Henry Adelman to sell used truck parts. Five years later, he purchased the property of our present location, a sign of countless expansions to come.
Now in its fourth generation of being a family-run business, Adelman's serves the trucking industry with quality medium and heavy-duty trucks, equipment and related parts. They are a worldwide, multi-faceted business serving customers on all seven continents.
Adelman’s is now one of the largest privately-owned truck salvage companies in the United States. It's family-owned and operated with the third and fourth Adelman generations now leading the way. They've entered new markets, including transmissions and differentials, new engine and truck sales, export, and industrial equipment and components. They have also expanded their footprint (in operating space and global service), all while adhering to their goals of unmatched quality and price, efficient service, deep industry knowledge, and genuine care for customers.
The Adelman’s family is excited to see where the next 100 years wil take them!
