The company provides a portfolio of diesel engine products, including turbochargers, fuel systems, exhaust and emission components, electrical parts, filtration products, and charged air products.

Bailey’s technical expertise and early involvement in the postwar diesel service industry — including his participation in the first meeting of the Association of Diesel Specialists (ADS) in 1956 — helped shape the company’s trajectory and the industry at large.
In 2019, Diesel USA Group was acquired by JASPER Holdings Inc., parent company of Jasper Engines & Transmissions. The company continues to operate as an independent brand within JASPER’s ESOP structure while retaining the leadership team that has guided its long-term growth.

Customer Base and U.S. Locations
Diesel USA Group serves a diverse customer base across industries that rely on gas and diesel engine systems. Its market reach extends nationwide through locations in Louisville, Kentucky; Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Crown Point, Indiana; and Fontana, California.
These facilities enable the company to deliver products and technical expertise to commercial fleets, consumer diesel drivers and equipment owners.
“Diesel USA Group’s decades long commitment to technical excellence, deep industry expertise, and strategically located facilities significantly strengthen our network’s ability to support customers nationwide. By adding their proven capabilities in diesel engine products, diagnostics, and remanufacturing, we are expanding both the depth and reach of the solutions we can offer to end-users,” said Joe Meyer, vice president of business development for VIPAR Heavy Duty.
