DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Horsepower Automotive (“Horsepower” or “the Company”) announced today the acquisition of Flatline Van Company (“FVCO”), a brand known in the camper van world for their thoughtful designs and unparalleled service. This marks an exciting chapter for both companies as Horsepower Automotive expands into new markets, guided by the expertise of the Flatline founders Kevin Callahan, Silas Thurman, and Jake Ballard, who will remain with the Company post-acquisition.
The Horsepower vision goes beyond product offering expansion and encompasses the creation of a supportive community for those who share a love for the outdoors and exploration. The partnership is further strengthened by the commitment to not only preserve the values on which FVCO was built but to also enhance our collective in the process.
“For five years, our team has worked to develop a brand known as the premier adventure accessories provider, and this is a testament to our vision of the company and to the community we have developed,” said FVCO Executive Kevin Callahan. “Next, to deliver the best experience to our customers and continue to grow, we are confident that the Horsepower Automotive team will be a fantastic partner to follow through with the vision and values that the company was founded on.”
FVCO’s founders will join working advisors Jared Hare (Founder of Addictive Desert Designs), Scott Drake (Founder of Drake Automotive) and Mario Rago (Founder of Rago Fabrication) to assist in strategy formulation across Horsepower’s entire group, ranging from new product development to go to market approaches.
By allowing the original founders to focus on their areas of passion, the Company aims to foster innovation and bring even greater value to our customers. With that ever-expanding team of devoted enthusiasts and a customer-centric approach, Horsepower will continue to exceed expectations and provide industry-leading solutions for all adventure vehicle fanatics.
