12-06-2012 at 10:00: Saab New Subsidiary in the USA

With the belief of Saab being long dead and never to be heard of again, a new subsidiary has formed in the US. Not that this company will be making cars, but for all of the Saab owners out there I am sure it will be piece of mind knowing you can still get parts when it breaks down.

Automobile Parts AB has formed a new North American subsidiary. The new company, North America Distribution Services Inc., is incorporated in all 52 states in the US and will be headquartered in Michigan. The company will also manage the operations in the Canadian market.

North America Distribution Services Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saab Automobile Parts AB, the global provider of genuine parts for Saab cars. It provides some 1200 workshops around the world with Saab Genuine Parts, accessories and technical support.

Saab Automobile Parts AB remains outside the bankruptcy process for the vehicle manufacturing company and continues to trade normally, servicing the global network of Saab Authorized Repairers and service partners.

“Today there are around half a million Saab cars on the roads in North America – the largest fleet of Saabs in one single market in the world. Our establishment in North America will secure support to Saab owners in the USA and Canada and ensure they have access to Saab Genuine Parts, service programs and technical support”, says Lennart Ståhl, CEO of Saab Automobile Parts AB.

The establishment of a new USA subsidiary is the latest action as Saab Automobile Parts AB works to ensure Saab owners around the world have access to a full range of professionally delivered aftersales services.

The company recently signed an agreement to use Saab’s press and body shop to manufacture replacement body parts. A second agreement was also signed to acquire a large number of fully assembled parts and other car components. The company also recently signed new contracts with key suppliers and these are all steps in a comprehensive program to ensure a good supply of spare parts for Saab cars, both on short and long term.
