“I’m thrilled SK Automotive has joined our organisation, giving us a firm foothold in Latin America. Like us, SK is ambitious and plans to open four new distribution centers in the New Year, which will see it close the first quarter with 40 branches.
“Signing our first partner in Latin America is a key milestone for (N!) and is a powerful demonstration of our strategy to develop in different continents with the objective of achieving a global presence in the automotive parts business.”
