Solera Holdings Acquires Inpart Servicos in Brazil

Solera Holdings, Inc., a global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing industry, has completed the acquisition of Inpart Servicos Ltda. (Inpart). Inpart is a leading electronic exchange for the purchase and sale of vehicle replacement parts in Brazil. Inpart has developed an extensive network of parts suppliers as well as an impressive customer list that includes some of Brazil's leading insurance companies and collision repair facilities.

"This acquisition further demonstrates our commitment to expanding our product and service offerings. We are very excited about the accomplishments already achieved by the Inpart team in the Brazilian market. In addition, we will be exploring the opportunity to expand the Inpart offering to other Latin American markets that we already service," said Tony Aquila, Solera's chairman and chief executive officer.

"This acquisition is a key milestone for Inpart and will help extend our success in helping insurance companies and collision repair shops work better together by bringing purchasing efficiency to parts procurement in the collision repair process. With the scale, domain expertise and relationships Solera brings to the table, we believe we can take Inpart to the next level," said Edgard Lobo Baptista Pereira, one of the co-founders of Inpart.

Solera is active in over 50 countries across six continents. The Solera companies include Audatex in the United States, Canada, and in more than 45 additional countries, Informex in Belgium, Sidexa in France, ABZ in The Netherlands, Hollander serving the North American recycling market, and IMS providing medical review services.
