Cary Group is proud to announce the acquisition of Autoklinik

Cary Group has acquired 90 percent of Autoklinik i Malmö AB, “Autoklinik”, an auto service and body repair workshop in Malmö. Autoklinik was founded in 1983 by the Radomski family and has been in the family’s ownership since. Autoklinik specialises in auto service, body repair and paint for several car brands. They are an authorized service and repair workshop for Hyundai, Honda, Fiat, Subaru and Isuzu and specialized damage repair partner for Bentley and McLaren, which are advanced cars that require great knowledge and skills from the technician. Autoklinik is also an approved body shop for Tesla cars.

“We are very happy to welcome Autoklinik to the Cary Group family. This is our first workshop in Sweden specialised in auto body repair and service and will serve as a great compliment to our vehicle glass replacement and repair business. The broadening of our service offering is part of our growth agenda in the Nordic Region. We are very happy that Robert Radomski, from the founder family, keeps a 10% share of the company and we are looking forward to continuing to develop Autoklinik together with him”, says Mats Green, Regional Head of Nordics at Cary Group.

Autoklinik has 30 employees, primarily body repair technicians and paint workers. In 2020 Autoklinik’s net sales attained approximately 38 MSEK.

With the acquisition, Cary Group is expanding its offering in Sweden. In March 2021 Cary Group acquired the Danish company Crashpoint A/S, which specializes in body repair and paint and is an approved body shop for Tesla, as a complement to Cary Group’s existing Danish business.

Cary Group publishes Sustainability Report 2020

Cary Group, a leading European vehicle glass repair and replacement service provider, today publishes its Sustainability Report for 2020. Cary Group offers solutions that help sustain the life, value and safety features of vehicles. Caring for and repairing, instead of replacing, with social responsibility and minimal environmental impact, is the foundation of sustainable car care at Cary Group.

“At Cary Group we believe in having a strategy which has sustainability as an integrated, core part of how we build our company. We do not believe in having a sustainability strategy – we have a sustainable strategy. As volumes increase it has become even more important to find sustainable solutions in everything we do. Our aim to always repair instead of replacing a windscreen when possible is one of them. In 2020, Cary Group repaired 125,175 windscreens, saving approximately 5 tonnes of CO2. By developing smarter solutions, we will be able to contribute to making mobility more sustainable, adapt to customer needs, create stronger teams and individuals, and reduce our climate impact. With a humble approach, this is how we want to lead the industry transformation and continue our journey ahead”, says Linda Wikström, COO and Deputy CEO Cary Group.

Cary Group’s ambition is to be the most sustainable company in the industry with a strong connection between business strategy, brand value and sustainability management. Reducing the climate impact is one of Cary Group’s priorities, but so is dedicated work to creating added value for the Group’s co-workers, including securing their health and safety.

The full Sustainability Report is available on Cary Group’s website, www.carygroup.com.
