Dec. 15, 2016—The Automotive Distribution Network (The Network), Automotive Parts Associates (APA Group) and VIPAR Heavy Duty have announced the formation of NEXUS North America LLC.
In March, the organizations announced that they had joined NEXUS Automotive International SA, an aftermarket trade group. The newly announced NEXUS North America entity serves as the exclusive partners for NEXUS Automotive International in North America.
NEXUS North America provides a forum for the three founding groups to share ideas, knowledge and strategies to best meet the needs of customers. It also allows each group to collaborate on a deeper level to address mutual opportunities and challenges while serving their respective market segment.
“The agreement is exciting for all of us,” said David Prater, president of The Network. “The ability to look at data efficiencies alone, in addition to discussing common solutions to everyday issues, makes our members anticipate great opportunities.”
