FORTNA They help drive our business

When O’Reilly Auto Parts acquired CSK Automotive, the race was on to merge both companies’ distribution operations. So O’Reilly called Fortna to help them shift into overdrive. In just two short years, seven additional facilities were integrated into a distribution network that now serves more than 3,500 stores with up to 120,000 SKUs.

“Given the magnitude of the project and its importance to our customers and investors, we knew Fortna was the partner we wanted. They have the talent, the tools and the commitment to deliver on their promises.”
