MINNEAPOLIS - February 27, 2015  - (BUSINESS WIRE) - ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a leading national damaged vehicle repair company, announced it acquired Crash1 Off Alpine Collision Center in Rockford, Illinois. Today's transaction is ABRA's fourth deal in three different states in less than a month.

The move signals the company is hitting its growth stride as it executes an aggressive national growth strategy to dramatically increase its national footprint. In less than a year, ABRA's repair center portfolio in Illinois has grown to 32 centers and its nationwide footprint now stands at 266 in 20 states.

Duane Rouse, ABRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, is pleased with the company's performance and progress while it continues to develop its acquisition road map. "We are always looking for opportunities to grow and demonstrate to new communities and insurance partners our innovative service model. We're thrilled with the success we've achieved and plan to continue to build on it in the Midwest and across the country."

The company uses an operational excellence philosophy resulting in industry-leading operating metrics, distinguishing it from competitors and making it a preferred option for insurance carriers and vehicle owners.

Scott Krohn, ABRA's Executive Vice President of Operations says maintaining superior processes and being a prominent industry leader is no easy task, but the company's management team and talented employees are certainly up to it. "The commitment and dedication within ABRA is second to none," Krohn says. "We are continually looking for ways to improve and grow while still maintaining our best-in-class cycle times and high customer satisfaction ratings. Our proven processes, operating metrics, and top notch personnel are what differentiate us from our competitors."

Building on its increasing success, ABRA plans to continue expanding in the months and years ahead as part of its aggressive national growth strategy. It is actively seeking new opportunities to acquire repair centers and integrate them into its industry-leading operating system.
