Audatex: About Us - Press Releases

SAN RAMON, Calif. — November 29, 2006 — Audatex, a Solera Company, today announced that it has created the Central and Eastern European Business Unit, or CEE, to manage its operations in 13 countries across the region. Collectively, the countries in the CEE have a total of nearly 70 million passenger vehicles, which would rank it behind only the United States in terms of market size and potential. The markets offer significant growth opportunity for Audatex.

"Solera’s investment in the CEE organization strategically aligns Audatex with the way our customers do business in these growing markets," stated Richard Nathschlager, recently appointed CEE Managing Director. "It enables us to strengthen our presence here, to continue to invest, and to focus our management, experience, and resources on delivering tailored solutions based upon local market needs."

"Companies operating in the CEE countries face common challenges and opportunities,” said Tony Aquila, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Solera, Inc. “Audatex can draw upon our unique experience from around the globe to help these clients automate the claims process and to capture these opportunities. Our dedicated staff in these countries now have additional supporting resources to service their clients even more effectively than before."
