To meet rapidly increasing demand for high-quality Korean OE-quality auto parts in Canada, Auto 7 Inc. has partnered with Grant Brothers Sales Limited, one of the country’s largest manufacturers’ representatives, to market its products from coast to coast.

Auto 7 supplies a wide variety of Korean-vehicle, OE-quality parts for popular Kia, Hyundai and GM-Daewoo models which, according to Auto 7 President Steven Kruss, are among the fastest-growing automotive brands in all of North America.

“We’re extremely pleased to be working with Grant Brother Sales,” said Kruss. “They’ve been in business for 70 years so they know the market and they know their customers. As a national sales agency, they have what it takes to help Auto 7 expand its presence from the eastern provinces all the way to British Columbia.”

Adam Crisp, president of Grant Brother Sales, said that the market for Korean auto parts in Canada is growing quickly. “The Hyundai and Kia brands are doing unbelievably well here, and the opportunity for continued growth is great,” said Crisp. “Auto 7 is a brand people here are aware of, and we’re excited to be able to help them grow their sales.”

Auto 7 is part of an international company that has been in business for more than 60 years. It offers a world-class catalog with more than 78,000 applications.
