Auto Glass Leaders Joining Together?

One of the biggest maxims on Earth is that when people work together, they can do more than only one person doing it alone. Now, two supergiant auto glass companies want to prove that that’s true by merging together. Berlon, the world leader in the automotive glass and repair industry, has acquired another automotive windshield repair giant Safelite Group Inc., which is the US largest auto glass repair and replacement company. When these two companies merge, they would be called Berlon US.

Dan Wilson, the CEO of the Safelite Group, said that this move is done to increase profits when these two giants merge. The merger might be completed in March 2007. Wilson also said that Safelite will profit if their parent is a global leader in the business. Berlon has been in business for one hundred and ten years. This partnership has a goal of getting 20 percent of the market share.

This merger won’t just make the CEOs and the employees happy, but it will also make the customers happy, because Safelite has 212 branches, and Berlon has over 900. So when these two companies combine, they will together have over one thousand branches. Berlon will also increase its repair shops by five hundred, and Safelite already has over 2200 repair shops, so that means that they would also have over 2500 repair shops. When the merger is done, the coverage of both companies in the US will increase. Their service in all fifty states will expand.

Safelite also offers insurance from its subsidiary Safelite Solutions. They also provide automotive glass products. Additionally, they have over eighty warehouses all across the country.
