What is TESCO?
Established in 1968, TESCO has evolved from a regional school bus dealership in northwest Ohio into a comprehensive, full-service provider of commercial buses, vans, and shuttles. Under the leadership of the Graham family, the company has diversified its inventory to include high-capacity vehicles from industry-leading manufacturers such as Starcraft Bus, Glaval Bus, and Forest River Bus. By maintaining a vast, ready-to-ship inventory, TESCO serves a diverse clientele ranging from private shuttle operators to public transit entities, effectively bridging the gap between vehicle manufacturing and end-user deployment. The company's transition into a third-generation family-owned enterprise has been marked by a strategic expansion of both its product portfolio and its geographic footprint across the United States.
