GRAPEVINE, Texas -- National Pronto Association has announced Monaco Group Automotive as a new WD member in Canada.

“After some extensive due-diligence on both sides of the border, we came to the conclusion that this new member would not only be a good addition but also a great fit for the Pronto group in Canada,” said Bill Maggs, president of National Pronto Association.

“As a logical evolutionary step for Monaco Group, we believe we are poised to create good chemistry and generate growth with Pronto in our mutual best interests,” added Ernest Monaco, chairman of the Canadian firm, based in Montreal.

“With our three distribution centers in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa as well as our nine corporate stores, 67 associate jobber members and, in turn, their 69 associate installer members, we are definitely heading on the right path with Pronto to continue to intelligently grow and enhance our business efforts in Eastern Canada,” noted Yvan Domingue, vice-president of sales and marketing.
