Strategic Growth for over 70 Years

Our parent company, U.S. Venture, Inc., was founded by brothers Art and Ray Schmidt in Kimberly, Wisconsin. Originally called the Schmidt Brothers Oil Company, the business quickly established its footprint and grew its offerings.

Art and Ray seized the opportunity to purchase a truck load of Cooper Tires at a great price, but with no plan or place to store them. They ultimately created a tires and parts division for their company and built a warehouse to begin distribution—creating what we know today as U.S. AutoForce.

Our distribution centers are stocked with full lineups of passenger, light truck, commercial, industrial tires, and undercar parts. We get you what you need, exactly when you need it. With online ordering, the brands and products you need are just a click away!
