News Release
GRAND ISLAND, Neb.- Bosselman Tank and Trailer (BT&T) today announced the completion of the acquisition of Kersten Trailer Sales (KTS) in Henderson, CO, a suburb of Denver. Both businesses focus on cargo tank sales, service and repair.
Until this transaction BT&T had 2 locations in Nebraska, this addition will add a 30,000 SQFT shop, with 15 bays on a 10-acre campus right outside of Denver. KTS moved to this location in 1997 and the location has been an excellent fit to service the refined fuel, crude oil and agriculture customers along the front range.
The acquisition will help Bosselman Tank and Trailer further expand their footprint into Colorado. Both businesses are family-owned which should make for a seamless integration. Kersten Trailer Sales has a long-standing tradition of excellent customer service due to its commitment to its customers and knowledgeable technicians. Bosselman Tank and Trailer will retain all employees, with the exception of Kyle Kersten who will assist with the transition. Wayne Garrett, General Manager of BT&T will oversee the transition and all operations.
“We look forward for the opportunity to grow our business into the Denver Metro area and are very happy to welcome Kersten’s employees, customers and vendors to our team,” said Fred Bosselman, CEO of Bosselman Tank and Trailer. “This new territory will bring some changes for us that we are excited to learn more about.”
According to Kyle Kersten, owner of Kersten Trailer Sales, “My primary concern upon entering into this agreement was to make sure both our employees and customers were going to be taken care of by a like-minded company, who would maintain the day to day interaction with the people they are used to working with.”
