We are happy to have found a partner that can continue our growth path, and that can take the company to the next level, while preserving its identity and the working environment for our employees. After the acquisition, KAR UK will continue to operate from its’ base in Manchester in the same manner but also benefit from the support of Van den Borne. We are excited about the future and cannot wait to get started realizing our shared ambitions,” Alex Pfeffer, KAR UK owner.
