APCO Holdings, home to the EasyCare, National Auto Care, GWC Warranty and MemberCare brands, announced that it has acquired Crystal Fusion Technologies, maker of automotive glass protection solutions.
This acquisition marks a milestone for APCO as it expands its portfolio and strengthens its position in the automotive aftermarket industry, the company said in a release.
Crystal Fusion Technologies, known for its technology and products designed to enhance the durability and performance of automotive glass surfaces, has built a strong reputation among consumers and industry professionals alike since its inception in 2007. Crystal Fusion is distributed through more than one thousand auto, RV and boat dealers, as well as professional detailers and via e-commerce partners through its GlassParency brand.
“We are thrilled to welcome Crystal Fusion to the APCO family,” said Tony Wanderon, CEO of APCO Holdings. “This acquisition represents an exciting opportunity to leverage the expertise and capabilities of both companies to deliver even greater value to our customers. Together, we will continue to drive innovation and position us as the leader in automotive protection solutions.”
“When I decided to sell my business, finding a partner who values our employees, distributors and dealers as much as I do was essential. With this focus, Crystal Fusion is well-positioned to prosper under new ownership,” said Ray Doran, founder of Crystal Fusion Technologies.
As part of the acquisition, APCO will retain key personnel and operations of Crystal Fusion Technologies, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and partners. Following the close of the transaction, Founder Ray Doran will transition and Gary LoCicero, president of Crystal Fusion Technologies, will continue to lead Crystal Fusion operations.
“I’m excited to take the reins and lead Crystal Fusion into its next chapter alongside the APCO team,” said Gary LoCicero, president of Crystal Fusion Technologies. “With its legacy of growth and innovation, APCO is the right partner to shepherd the company into a new era.”
