Tire Group International LLC (TGI) has acquired Avaun Tire Supply, a wholesale distributor based in Portland, Ore.
Avaun Tire and TGI have been partners since 2016, when Avaun Tire was founded by Sherko Rasouli and Freddie Capshaw.
Rasouli will oversee TGI's Portland region and will take on the responsibility of driving sales for TGI’s house brands in the western United States.
“We are thrilled to welcome Avaun to the TGI family,” says Joaquin Gonzalez Jr., president of TGI.
“This acquisition not only expands our footprint in the Pacific Northwest, but also allows us to strengthen our house brands - Cosmo Tire, Astro Tyres and Duramas - under the capable leadership of Sherko Rasouli and Freddie Capshaw.”
“Having been part of the TGI family for the past 13 years, first as vice president of Middle East sales and currently as their partner in Avaun, I am looking forward to our future together,” says Rasouli.
