A St. Catharines, Ont., company has become a Canadian success story as the largest official importer of Dodge, Ram and Jeep vehicles in Europe.
John Muratori, COO of Auto Export Corp. , is based in Munich, Germany, and oversees offices in Turin, Italy, and Antwerp, Belgium.
AEC purchases the vehicles from Stellantis, imports them, puts them through homologa- tion — conversion to meet local laws — and then retails them through 150 AEC- branded dealer- ships, Muratori said. AEC was founded in 1996 by St. Catharines native Andrew Pilsworth. The com- pany’s big break came when it helped unload inventory when Chrysler entered bank- ruptcy in 2008, Muratori said.
“We knew it was a big opportunity,” Muratori said. “Almost too big for two guys from St. Catharines.”

'We expect another challenging quarter for the group,' KBW analyst Mike Rizvanovic said, adding that he expects slowing loan growth, higher expenses and higher provisions for credit losses. The shares of the top five banks - Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia and CIBC - have lost between 2% and 8% so far this year.
