Uni-Select has announced that it has acquired substantially, all of the assets of Dash Distributors.

Based in Edmonton, Alta., Dash Distributors is an independent distributor of automotive products and was previously a member of a non-affiliated buying group.

Established in 1992, Dash Distributors is one of the largest independent distributors in Alberta, with 49 sales and service professionals active in four locations across the greater Edmonton area. Dash provides products and services to a broad and diverse customer base including dealerships and independent service centres.

“Dash has a well established track record of superior customer service and product availability and we are very pleased to welcome them to Uni-Select,” said Brent Windom, President and Chief Operating Officer, Canadian Automotive Group.

“With this acquisition, we now have 54 corporate stores under the Bumper to Bumper banner—complementing our very solid network of independent jobber customers,” added Henry Buckley, President and Chief Executive Officer, Uni-Select.
