Growth, as the source summarises it

Uni-Select may be growing as evidenced by its recent acquisition activities, which include the purchase of Autobody Supply Co., adding nine new locations in Ohio, and the acquisition of a B.C. jobber. These acquisitions not only expand Uni-Select's geographical footprint but also its operational capabilities within the automotive and wholesale industries. The expansion through acquisitions is a strong indicator of Uni-Select's growth strategy and its efforts to increase market share in the automotive refinish and industrial paint products sector.
