ALLDATA Europe Hits 5,000 Subscribers and Expands its Direct Sales and
Distribution Network throughout Europe 

COLOGNE, Germany, 2016-09-14 18:48 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ALLDATA Europe
GmbH, an affiliate of ALLDATA LLC, the leading provider of manufacturers’
automotive repair information and solutions for the professional automotive
service and repair industry, announced it has reached a milestone with 5,000
subscribers across Europe in just four years. Since its official product launch
at Automechanika in 2012, ALLDATA Repair in Europe has grown to include 22
vehicle brands with more than 25 million articles and 23,000 engine
combinations, available in five languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian
and German). A strong network of resellers and distributors, in combination
with direct sales, has contributed to ALLDATA’s rapid growth in Europe. 

“Our customers understand the value and uniqueness ALLDATA offers the European
market,” said Kevin Culmo, General Manager and Managing Director, ALLDATA
Europe GmbH, and Group Vice President, ALLDATA LLC. “We’ve partnered with some
of the largest and most respected resellers and distributors in the industry to
integrate directly into the parts catalog, providing customers with seamless
access to ALLDATA Repair’s complete diagnostic information.” 

ALLDATA Europe provides original OEM repair and diagnostic information,
advanced searching capability, wiring diagrams, maintenance interval and
service schedules and more within a user-friendly portal. In 2012, ALLDATA
Repair launched with five brands, and today is actively pursuing several
manufacturers to provide information for more than 95% of the vehicles on the
road in Europe. Ongoing product enhancements, including advanced searching
capability, standard navigation, unified taxonomy and dynamic service
intervals, make it an attractive offering for workshops. 

Expansion of direct sales in Germany and the UK has proven invaluable to
ALLDATA Europe’s growth, as it has been to ALLDATA’s successful 30-year history
in selling directly to workshops in North America. The interaction with
workshop owners and technicians is instrumental to understand business
challenges and articulate how the depth and breadth of OEM repair information
available in ALLDATA Repair saves time, money and improves profitability. 

ALLDATA has also grown its reseller network to encompass more than seven
countries within a network of more than 20 partners. The team continues to grow
that network and collaborate to advance automotive workshops by providing
best-in-class automotive parts combined with leading OEM repair information to
support quality automotive service. 

“We are pleased to see the strong interest in ALLDATA Repair across Europe,”
said Mitch Major, President of ALLDATA, LLC. “We are proud of the ALLDATA
Europe team’s effort to help make our product an indispensable tool to
thousands of technicians in this market, and we’re confident our presence
across Europe will continue to expand.”
