Peter Saldamarco, president of Central Auto Auction, located in Hamden, Conn., recently named Anthony Salerno Assistant General Manager.

Salerno previously served as the Assistant General Manager for Adesa Long Island, and more recently as the General Manager of Adesa Miami. His prior experience at these major national auction facilities makes him the ideal candidate to fill the role at Central Auto Auction.

“We are thrilled to welcome Anthony Salerno aboard, as he offers a tremendous amount of expertise in our industry,” Saldamarco said. “Anthony has many industry contacts, vast industry knowledge and an exceptional track record of success. His main focus initially will be to manage our rapidly increasing commercial consignment volume. We know he’ll fit right in with our staff. Central Auto Auction is a major up and comer in the automotive auction industry, and we’re proud to have Anthony on our team.”
