Trux Accessories

What Trux Accessories does

Trux Accessories is a Canadian aftermarket manufacturer and distributor specializing in LED lighting and chrome accessories for Class 8 commercial semi-trucks. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Laval, Canada, the company sells into the United States through a network of local TRUX dealers and distributors and through its own e-commerce storefront, targeting owner-operators, trucking fleets, and truck enthusiasts. Its catalog exceeds 1,000 SKUs spanning LED headlight assemblies, sealed-beam replacements and bulb kits, multi-tier LED work lamps (Specialty, Standard, Warning & Safety, Value, High Powered), interior/exterior LED lighting, chrome exterior trims fitted to seven major OEM platforms (Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, International, Mack, Western Star), fenders, exhaust components, and universal accessories.

The company's core technology centers on commercial-grade LED lighting, including a patented 450 Series that integrates Stop/Turn/Tail, Back-Up, and work-lamp functions into a single 4-inch round unit, automatic heated-lens headlights for cold-weather operation, and an RGB Lighting System with app/remote-based color control. Pricing is not publicly listed and is handled via dealer quotes, consistent with a wholesale-oriented B2B/B2C aftermarket model. The business is privately held with no institutional investor, funding round, or parent company disclosed; it is led by CEO Rick Merovitz and Founder/Chief Innovations Officer Dave Merovitz, indicating a family-led operating structure. Recent 2024 activity — the 6" Oval LED Series launch, the RGB Lighting System rollout, and continued brand-specific trim expansion — signals ongoing product investment within the same vertical rather than a strategic pivot.
