Amtel-Vredestein to Acquires Russian Tyre and Auto Part Distributors
Amtel-Vredestein’s (AV) AV-TO retail subsidiary has announced that it is to buy Nizhny Novgorod-based motorfactor, Pigma, and tyre distributor Megashina. With over 10 years in the market, LLC Trade House Pigma (Pigma), is reportedly a dynamic company that sells more than 27,000 auto components from approximately 40 producers to over 1500 customers throughout Russia and CIS. Pigma also built a network of seven tyre service retail centres in Nizhny Novgorod – which it sold to Amtel-Vredestein in March 2006.
