    Everyday the RLA sales team demonstrates the ability to manage existing relationships while simultaneously developing new channels of business for all our represented manufacturers. Product expertise, customer service, and taking a long view on industry relationships are crucial ingredients to RLA's success in serving dealer accounts and our manufacturer partners - year in and year out.

    RLA is connected and committed to our dealer partners in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky; and manufacturers from all over the world

  • For over 25 years, RLA has proudly stood by valued manufacturers and worked as a team to solve customer problems, educate, and fortify the bonds of business. Our people value strong foundations of knowledge, skill, and care to serve dealers and manufacturers alike.

  • Changes in product technology, supply chains, personnel, and costs have forced the modern sales force to become more flexible, better informed and more prepared for the changing needs of our partners. Actively engaging with partner organizations on multiple levels is the only real way to truly solve problems and add value.
