Manheim Auctions

[2] Under Cox, Manheim continued to expand by providing vital services, such as reconditioning, recovery, and auto hauling, to both dealership and wholesalers.

Today, Cox Enterprises owns 98% of Auto Trader, one of the world’s leading providers of online and print automotive consumer information.

After turning it into the largest PDR company in the world, Manheim sold Dent Wizard's United States and Canada markets to H.I.G.

The owner, Andrei Kouznetsov, developed a new concept that allowed a foreign dealer to have Akinvest perform all of the necessary procedures to have vehicles delivered to the port nearest to that buyer.

[5][6] The strength of the procedures used was enhanced by superior programming and automated Web Sites, retaining enormous banks of data.

[13] The agreement was signed in January 2009 for a staged buyout of Akinvest/ Export Trader transforming the entire organization under the name WES Exporttrader.
