The increased physical footprint, along with innovative new processes and technologies, will provide significant benefits to Total Resource Auctions’ customers, including insurance carriers, financial institutions, non-profits, government entities, fleets and dealers. |

Total Resource Auctions is expanding its footprint within the Southern coastal states from Texas to Virginia. In Florida alone, Total Resource Auctions will grow from five to 16 locations, tripling its offerings in the state. With nearly 300 acres on the Florida coast, Total Resource Auctions will have a greatly enhanced capacity for handling its customers’ catastrophe needs. This expansion will allow the company to better serve the growing needs of insurance customers throughout the region and across the United States. The SADISCO location names will change to Total Resource Auctions. |

“This expansion is further evidence of Total Resource Auctions’ long-term commitment to become a national provider in the insurance industry,” said Mike Broe, executive vice president, U.S. operations, Manheim. “With the addition of these 22 locations, we will significantly expand our capacity throughout the Southeast, a key region in the salvage business.” |
