Auto/Mate Relocates Headquarters
Auto/Mate moves to a bigger facility to accommodate its continued growth. The company is now headquartered in Albany, N.Y.
ALBANY, N.Y. — DMS provider Auto/Mate Dealership Systems relocated its headquarters from Clifton Park, N.Y., to Albany, N.Y. Officials said the move was made to accommodate the company’s continued growth.
“Our growth has accelerated in recent years and the new location better accommodates our staff and enhances our ability to service our customers,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate.
Employees made the official move on Aug. 13. The new facility is 30,000 square feet, triple the size of Auto/Mate’s previous headquarters. “I felt that the No. 1 issue concerning the move was that the process was to have no effect on the level of service we give our customers,” Esposito said. “I am happy to say we succeeded, for throughout the move it was business as usual.”
