Spanesi Americas Adds Tri-State Collision Equipment

Spanesi Americas has continued to expand its distribution and customer support across North America. Recently, Spanesi Americas added Tri-State Collision Equipment to provide distribution and customer support specifically to North and South Dakota and other Plains States.

“We are very excited to have Tri- State Collision Equipment join the Spanesi Americas team,” said Timothy Morgan, managing director of Spanesi Americas. “With our growth in sales and market share, we continue to add distribution and customer support teams to allow us to exceed our customer’s expectations.”

Led by Paul French, Tri-States Collision Equipment brings 46 years of collision repair equipment experience to Spanesi and the Plains States. “I have worked with Paul previously and am glad to have him back,” said Morgan. “Paul has always recognized the needs of his customers and is a great addition to our Spanesi team.”

“I have been looking for the right technology to bring to my market that will help collision repair facilities now and in the future. Spanesi’s philosophy and technology exceeds the needs today and they recognize the future collision industry trends and direction. It’s what my customers have been asking me for,” said French.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
