Royal Auto Glass owner Steve Hoyt will join ABRA and assume a leadership role in the company to maintain and manage auto glass operations in the Indianapolis market.
“This is a great cultural fit and an exceptional opportunity for our employees," said Hoyt. "ABRA has all the ingredients of a successful company integrity, a culture of ethics, a well-respected reputation and teamwork with a strong focus on customer service.”
