BCA acquires Supreme Wheels Direct
BCA has acquired a 75% stake in Supreme Wheels Direct Ltd, a specialist in alloy wheel refurbishment, for an undisclosed sum.
Avril Palmer-Baunack, executive chairman of British Car Auctions.
The acquisition allows BCA and Supreme to service demand for the refurbishment of alloy wheels, both for vehicles processed through BCA’s Services division and for vehicles handled through BCA’s remarketing centres nationwide.
Each step of the process is done in-house, from cleaning through to coating, including paint jobs and diamond cutting, and wheels leave the workshop fully certified.
Supreme employs 45 staff and over the last 12 months refurbished some 50,000 wheels. The company will operate in the BCA Vehicle Services division.
Avril Palmer-Baunack, executive chairman of BCA, commented: “The acquisition of Supreme represents an important investment in technical expertise that allows us to control the quality of the refurbishment of vehicles under our control.”
