Bodyshop supplier MKPE has expanded its distribution network with the acquisition of Motofax in Watford.

This acquisition comes on the back of MKPE’s other acquisitions in the past 12 months of ATS in Surrey and the company’s expansion into Kent with its new Dartford depot and the acquisitions of C&C Car Colours and Letchford Supplies.

The acquisition of Motofax was an important strategic move due to the high density catchment area of Watford, Hertfordshire and North and North West London, said the company.

MKPE chairman Terry Elliot said: “Motofax has always been an excellent distributor, with a very strong management team and we are looking forward to welcoming them into the MKPE organisation.

"This is a very strategic move into London and Hertfordshire and the MKPE team is looking forward to building long lasting relationships with our new customers”
