The transaction is expected to be completed by no later than 31 October 2022, subject to typical closing conditions.

AMA Group CEO, Carl Bizon said, “The sale of FluidDrive ensures a pure focus for our Supply business unit on the previously communicated strategy for the supply of Genuine, Reclaimed and Aftermarket parts and collision repair Consumables. We wish the FluidDrive team well for the future under their new ownership and acknowledge their contribution to AMA Group.”

Pitcher Partners Corporate Pty Ltd provided AMA Group with advisory services for the transaction.

The AMA Group is the leader in the Australian and New Zealand collision repair industry and associated auto parts market.
