Overview
Kwik-Fit Group cares for tired tires, exhausted exhaust systems, and broken brakes. The company, one of the largest motor vehicle repair chains in Europe, operates about 1,800 service facilities that sell and repair tires, exhaust systems, and brakes and perform state-mandated motor vehicle inspections. The company's brands include Kwik-Fit (the Netherlands, the UK), Speedy (France), and Pitstop (Germany). Kwik-Fit markets its services to vehicle fleet operators as well as to consumers. In mid-2011 Japan's ITOCHU acquired Kwik-Fit from French private equity firm PAI Partners for £637 million (about $1 billion). Following the purchase, CEO Ian Fraser left the company. He was succeeded by ITOCHU's Kenji Murai.
