Hollander® and Progi-Pac Settle Copyright Infringement Case, Enter Into Multi-Year Licensing Agreement

05 May 2009

SAN DIEGO, CA (May 5, 2009) - Hollander North America, Inc., a leading supplier of business solutions for automotive recyclers, has reached a settlement in its copyright infringement dispute with Progi-Pac, a Canadian supplier of French-language management and parts-interchange software for automotive recyclers.  Along with the settlement, the companies have also entered into a multi-year licensing agreement.

Properly licensed users of the Progi-Pac and Progi-Comm systems can have confidence knowing that their software is now backed by direct access to Hollander Interchange—the industry’s most comprehensive interchange data source, which details which vehicle parts are interchangeable between foreign and domestic cars and light trucks dating back to the 1920s.  Hollander will continue to innovate and market its own comprehensive suite of business solutions for automotive recyclers throughout Quebec and Canada.

Francine Dupont, President of Progi-Pac, said, “Our customers rely on us to deliver the solutions they need to run their automotive recycling businesses.  By working directly with Hollander, we can ensure they have access to all of the tools they need.”

John Kotsopoulos, Managing Director for Audatex North America, said, “We’re happy to put this issue behind us and we’re exploring opportunities to build upon this strategic relationship with Progi-Pac for the benefit of automotive recyclers in Quebec and additional markets.”
