Composed by collaborators with many of the 21st century citizen skills, such as lifelong learning, initiative, as well as flexibility and adaptability, A-Team believes it can further enhance its works by diversifying its portfolio services through expansions and partnerships. The idea is to extend its team’s level A into other areas through collaboration and teamwork, thereby solving problems that involve the repair market as a whole.

Thus, in the short-term future, A-Team is investing in the structure of its offices in Cascavel - Brazil, Sydney - Australia and additional offices in France. These bases are essential to systematize a model of cooperation with sister companies and clients.

In addition to that, the company aims to improve its repair services in 2019 englobing polishing, painting and tinkering, through a long-standing partnership with resourceful yard management in South American countries.

For the next few years, A-Team wants to impact the automotive market positively with unprecedented productivity and quality, in an ecosystem of repairing companies that the company willbe pivotal in creating.

The last edition of the 2018 International Automotive Smart Repair Exhibition (IASRE) was an opportunity for A-Team to translate its ability to align quality and agility in a friendly and competitive environment. The 6 members that the company selected to participate in the challenge have achieved the first and second final positions after8 tryouts involving high skilled rivals from all over the world.

While the bottleneck tests would expect the competitors to fix 2 critical spots on a door by 45 minutes, the grand final for the 8 left mixed hail marks and a park dent on a car mudguard piece by 60 minutes. The champion completed it in 55 minutes, with the second winner only 5 seconds behind. None of the rivals finished the test.
