Texas-based Bodyguard Bumpers has entered into a distribution partnership with Keystone Automotive Operations.

“We are excited to partner with Keystone and we know this relationship will only further strengthen the service level to our customers moving forward,” said Kelli Mallicote, owner and vice president of Bodyguard Bumpers. “We value what Keystone will bring to the table covering more than 30 million miles across North America and we look forward to serving as a strategic manufacturing partner for the truck and off-road industry.”

The distribution partnership will bring Bodyguard’s full line of aftermarket automotive accessories to dealerships in a timely fashion, offering distribution services throughout North America, according to the company. Keystone clients will be able to access Bodyguard products with ease, with fast shipping and quality assurance as a result of the new partnership.

“We feel Keystone embodies the model in a distributor we were looking for with warehouse operations that pick, pack, and ship around the clock to make sure the product is delivered on time,” Mallicote said. “They cover a lot of ground in North America and we look forward to being able to better serve the automotive industry going forward.”
