Concours Collision Centres-CSN in Calgary, Alberta breaks ground for new facility in Royal Oak district

Concours Collision Centres-CSN in Calgary, Alberta has announced the ground breaking of a new state-of-the-art collision repair facility in the northwest district of Royal Oak.
The collision centre will operate adjacent to existing automobile dealerships, with convenient access for customers who live or work in the northern section of the city.
Ken Friesen, president and CEO of Concours Collision Centres-CSN, said he felt it was necessary to expand its operations to better serve the growing needs of the area.  
“In the Alberta market, we have been blessed with a steady flow of work for the past few years, causing a backlog in production,” Friesen says. “This new facility will offer our customers quicker turnaround and better service.”
Concours Collision Centres has also formed a strategic partnership, joining CSN Collision & Glass (CSN) – a network of independently owned and operated collision repair facilities located throughout Canada.
CSN’s chief operating officer Flavio Battilana said CSN is “excited” that Ken Friesen and Concours is a part of its expansion in Western Canada. “Through his innovative processes and continual improvement efforts, Ken has demonstrated commitment and leadership to the Calgary community and the Canadian collision industry.”
Concours Collision Centres – Royal Oak, located at 37 Royal Vista Drive NW, Calgary, Alberta, is scheduled to open in Fall 2011.
