Online vehicle auction company Copart has furthered its international reach, this time with the opening of its first location in the Republic of Ireland.

This new location, just outside of Carlow in Castledermot, will serve as the base for Copart’s new Ireland auctions and is the latest expansion across Europe following the company’s entry into India.

“This is just one of Copart’s major milestones on the international stage this year. We are excited to continue expanding our global footprint as we implement the Copart model in the Ireland market,” Copart chief executive officer Jay Adair said in a news release .

Copart Ireland held its first online auction on Tuesday. The auction was hosted using Copart’s VB3 technology, which is available on mobile, tablet and desktop. With the VB3 multi-auction dashboard, members can participate in multiple auctions simultaneously, all within a single browser.

“We are really excited about expanding our presence in the European market. This location allows us to better serve our large international buyer base and clients,” said Vinnie Mitz, president of Copart.

“Launching Copart in the Republic of Ireland was a logical step. We have many existing buyers in Ireland, and this number continues to grow,” said Nigel Paget, Copart Europe chief executive officer. “The opening of this purpose-built location in Castledermot is an exciting new venture. It will further support our European buyers and continue our strategic growth across Europe.”

The company operates in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, India, Sultanate of Oman, Spain, Canada, Brazil, Germany, and the Republic of Ireland, linking sellers to more than 750,000 members in more than 160 countries through its multichannel online platform.
