The Alliance Automotive Group (AAG) announced the acquisition of Klapper Autoteile GmbH Co. KG from its sole shareholder Andreas Klapper, subject to approval by antitrust authorities.
Klapper is a full-line automotive parts wholesaler with its headquarters in Bünde and supplies over one thousand customers, most of which are independent garages.
The company is a leading regional supplier of automotive spare parts in the East Westphalia region, generating turnover of over €7 million.
“The customer focus of Alliance Automotive Germany GmbH and its companies Coler, Busch and Büge, coupled with the company’s expertise in supporting independent garages, and its position as part of an international group, convinced me that we have found the ideal partner to develop our family-owned company and secure a successful future,” said Andreas Klapper at the signing of the transaction.
Successful network
“I look forward to working with the Alliance Automotive Group and will continue in my role as CEO of Klapper Autoteile GmbH Co. KG.”
“We are delighted to welcome Klapper Autoteile GmbH Co. KG as the newest member of the AAG organisation,” added Jean-Jaques Lafont, CEO and co-founder of AAG.
“With four companies in Germany, Coler, Busch, Büge and Klapper, we have established a successful network in the west of the country and intend to continue this growth strategy across the rest of Germany.”
