Joe Damm, Head of CSM Companies Auto Dealerships Business Line further elaborated, “Consumer retail focus within the automobile industry provides a number of opportunities for CSM Companies to grow its capabilities and know-how. The strong brand that the Dearth dealerships offers in the community and the family culture they have refined over decades of business allows us a great first step into this sector.”
