FinishMaster Announces CARSTAR Agreement

FinishMaster, Inc. has entered into an agreement with CARSTAR to service CARSTAR Franchisee locations on a national basis. This agreement will provide for consistent delivery and service nationwide for paint and related material.

"FinishMaster, through the use of proprietary database software technology, will provide improved information reporting capability to drive efficiencies within CARSTAR's network and reduce administrative work being done today by CARSTAR and its Franchisees," stated J.A. Lacy, FinishMaster President and Chief Operating Officer.

CARSTAR Chief Executive Officer, George Hansen, commented, "We are pleased with the addition of FinishMaster as a CARSTAR preferred vendor. Applying FinishMaster's market knowledge and expertise to CARSTAR's nationwide network of repair facilities will provide immediate value to both companies as well as long-term benefits as CARSTAR expands its franchise base."

FinishMaster is a national independent distributor of automotive paints, coatings, and related accessories to the automotive collision repair industry. The company, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, operates three major distribution centers and 157 branches in 25 of the 35 largest metropolitan areas in the country.
