McConkey Auction Group (MAG) has acquired ABS Auto Auctions, which remarkets over 40,000 vehicles annually, expanding the auction group’s U.S. footprint.
The addition of the Southern California-based auction increases MAG’s strategy of synthesizing digital and physical auctions, the company said. This also expands its established footprint in the Southwest with the recent acquisition of DAA Las Vegas.
