Pro-Tech Auction CEO and co-founder Gary Lisowski, a longtime industry leader, will continue to run operations at the co-branded facilities.

“I am excited about the benefits that our customers and employees will receive from our partnership with Total Resource Auctions,” Lisowski said. “It offers Pro-Tech Auction the right ingredients of financial strength, commitment and leadership to take our business to the next level. With the value-added components that Total Resource Auctions provides, we are well on our way toward becoming the regional and national provider in the salvage auction industry.” |

Ibach is pleased that the business model he, his family and Lisowski developed will live on as part of Total Resource Auctions. “Thirteen years ago my father, Darrell Ibach Sr., had the idea of starting Pro-Tech Auction. We built the company into an industry leader and found a great partner in Total Resource Auctions,” Ibach said. |

Total Resource Auctions’ alliance with Pro-Tech Auction comes on the heels of an expansion earlier this year when the company acquired five industry-leading salvage auction companies operating at 12 locations: Central Cities Auction Pool; Klode Salvage Distribution Center, Inc.; S.A.I.S.C., Inc.; Sapulpa Auto Pool, Inc.; and SourceOne Solutions. |
