Morangis, May 2008
The Axial network and the Autodistribution Group have agreed a partnership agreement, the terms of which include AD distributors giving preferential commercial conditions to body repairers who are part of the Axial network. In addition to supplying mechanical parts, Autodistribution will supply the Axial network with bodywork components from its subsidiary Cora, the leading French independent distributor of original quality bodywork parts. Outside this agreement, Autodistribution is also creating a specific version of its Autossimo automotive applications portal for the Axial network. A test is already underway with certain Axial body repairers, and the final version of Autossimo for Axial will be supplied and offered to the entire network in the next few weeks. Christophe Laurent-Atthalin, General Director of Autodistribution comments "While maintaining the strong commitment of the AD to its own body repairers, we are also offering a high quality range of products and services to other bodywork companies with a proactive and structured development policy, under conditions that will allow them to reinforce their operational performance and their competitiveness. This agreement is therefore perfectly in line with our commercial development strategy. "Philippe Gervasoni, President of Axial notes "this partnership is beneficial for Axial Body Repairers. It is also a testament to the ability of two key players in the field of independent repair to overcome their traditional rivalry and to find areas or co-operation that benefit their members in a market that is often challenging."
