Winnipeg, Manitoba — June 5, 2013 — The Boyd Group Inc. (the “Boyd Group”) today announced the acquisition of Kitchener, Ontario-based Queensway Auto Body, Limited (“Queensway”). This represents the first location for the Boyd Group in Ontario, which currently operates 227 collision repair locations across 14 U.S. States and now five Canadian Provinces.

Queensway is one of the largest independently owned, single location collision repair centers in the Kitchener/Waterloo market and has been in operation since the late 1950’s. It will continue to operate under its current name for a period of time.

“We have been looking to expand into the Ontario market for some time now and we believe this is the right opportunity,” said Eric Danberg, President, Canadian Operations for the Boyd Group. “Not only is this a financially accretive acquisition, but it is also very strategic with a well-established brand, convenient and accessible location and strong reputation. It is important to us that we enter a new market like Ontario by establishing a solid foothold for further expansion and Queensway accomplishes that objective.”
