Zentrale Autoglas acquires workshop in Rostock
Zentrale Autoglas, a leading specialist in bus and coach glazing and part of Cary Group, has acquired the Rostock-based auto glass business Zentrale Autoglas as of 1 July 2026.
Zentrale Autoglas Rostock provides vehicle glass repair and replacement services for passenger cars, buses and commercial vehicles. Through the acquisition, Zentrale Autoglas strengthens its presence in northern Germany and establishes operations in Rostock. Although previously unaffiliated, the company shares its name with the existing Zentrale Autoglas operations, making the continuation of the established brand a natural fit.
"Rostock is an excellent strategic fit for us. Together with a long-standing partner, we had the opportunity to acquire a well-established business with a strong market position. We are pleased that the experienced local team will remain in place, providing a solid foundation for continued growth while maintaining the high level of service customers have come to expect," says Helge Prigge, Managing Director of Zentrale Autoglas GmbH”.
The Rostock operation has built a strong reputation over many years, serving customers across passenger vehicles, buses and coaches. Founder Fred Pluschkell, who established the business, will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity, helping to ensure a smooth transition and continued continuity for both customers and employees.
“Becoming part of the nationwide Zentrale Autoglas is a real win for us. We look forward to working together and offering our customers even more,” says Fred Pluschkell, founder of Zentrale Autoglas Rostock
