The business grew steadily over the next decade. In 2002, Ron acquired two Volvo Truck dealerships in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, allowing him to enter the high-quality new truck market. A year later, Mack Trucks was added to the M&K family at our Kalamazoo location. M&K Truck Centers has continued to grow and thrive in the Midwest.
