Name change announced at IBIS Global Summit 2018, reflects focus on building fully integrated aftermarket services solution

MUNICH (Germany), June 14 2018 – Fix Automotive Network World, formerly Fix Auto World, revealed its new name on Tuesday June12 at the International Body Shop Industry Symposium (IBIS) Global Summit, held in Munich, Germany.

"We’ve grown our family of aftermarket brands to deliver a complete service solution to our industry partners and create business opportunities for our franchise members," said President and CEO Steve Leal. "Our new corporate name takes us beyond the body shop and gives us the room we need to grow our integrated aftermarket solution."

Steve Leal says that this concept is now ready to be exported globally, with the acquisition of the rights of NOVUS Glass and SRP auto glass products in June 2017.

"The needs of our supply partners and industry stakeholders are evolving, and it is our mission to grow alongside them for a more efficient and focused aftermarket future", added David Lingham, Head of Business for Fix Automotive Network World. "Everywhere we go, we are well positioned to bring the structure, partnerships and tools that business owners need to thrive in this age of consolidation."
