In 1967, Ed Tucker began a wholesale distribution company, Ed Tucker Distributor, Inc., in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. Bob Nickell bought the business from Mr. Tucker in 1972.
In 1986, Ed Tucker Distributor joined forces with Rocky Cycle, one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States. A new business name, Tucker Rocky Distributing (Tucker Rocky), was born to reflect the new team that formed the nation's premier distribution network in the aftermarket powersport industry.
In 1989, Tucker Rocky was acquired by Lacy Distribution, Inc. (LDI) of Indianapolis, Indiana.
In 1991, Tucker Rocky acquired Nempco, one of the largest and fastest growing Harley-Davidson aftermarket distributors in the nation.
Since 2003, Tucker Rocky's success in the marketplace has outpaced industry growth year after year as the organization expands and re-invests in resources and systems to deliver an increasingly higher level of service to dealers. The organizational structure and systems that were put in place over the past decade provide a solid foundation for incremental growth through expanded brand and product offerings, increased sales coverage and a commitment to the growth and development of proprietary brands.
Moving forward, continued expansion of the brand portfolio, further development of the logistical systems, and enhancements to the size and expertise of the Tucker Rocky sales organization will be the key drivers of future growth for Tucker Rocky.
