ATL Automotive has announced that it is set to sign an agreement this week after being named Regional Master Dealers for BMW and MINI in Jamaica and eight countries throughout the Caribbean.

The regional appointment, a first ever for a Jamaican automotive company, followed a nine-month tender process that saw ATL Automotive overcome international bids from across Europe and the Americas.

The company said it will take direct control of the sales and after sales of BMW and MINI in Jamaica on February 15, 2016 and, effective April 1, play a regional management role in an additional eight countries — Trinidad and Tobago, The Bahamas, Cayman, Curacao, Barbados, Aruba, Saint Lucia, and Suriname.
