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.

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.
