RB Global is enhancing its worldwide presence again via IAA.
The company announced on Thursday that IAA has launched a new market alliance with CarGo Logistic Azerbaijan.
According to a news release, CarGo Logistic Azerbaijan will operate an IAA Auction Center, where its team will provide local services and assistance to buyers seeking to browse, bid on and buy inventory listed at IAA.
The company highlighted this strategic alliance seeks to broaden the reach of both companies in the country by enabling a new market of buyers in the region to purchase vehicles more efficiently through IAA’s bidding platform and receive local assistance in the process.
“We are excited about our continued global expansion with IAA’s new Market Alliance in Azerbaijan,” said Scott Guenther, senior vice president of North America operations at IAA. “With the combination of CarGo Logistic Azerbaijan’s on-the-ground support and IAA’s industry-leading auction platform, we look forward to meeting the needs of our customers in the region through this agreement.”
Misheli Chikvatia is director of CarGo Logistic Azerbaijan.
“We’re proud to bring in depth industry experience and a dedicated local team to our new position as the IAA Market Alliance in Azerbaijan,” Chikvatia said in the news release. “Through this agreement, we’re not just offering access to U.S. vehicle inventory — we’re delivering a seamless, transparent and tailored importing experience for vehicle buyers in this region.
“With a full-service team behind every transaction, our customers can count on trusted guidance and personalized support at every step,” Chikvatia went on to say.
The move in Azerbaijan surfaced after similar activities in Central America and the Middle East.
Last month, IAA entered into a market alliance with Moto Leader Group International in Panama.
And in April, the company launched a new market alliance with Nejoum Al Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates.
