WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

IAA announced a trio of big East Coast moves on Tuesday.

The company broke ground on IAA Elkton, which will be its fifth Maryland branch, as well as IAA Monticello, which will be its seventh New York location and support the Hudson Valley market.

IAA also is expanding in the Long Island, N.Y., area.

“As we approach peak CAT season, the timely expansion in the Long Island area will help us serve the growing needs of the Eastern Seaboard,” said Tim O’Day, who is IAA’s president of U.S. operations, in a news release. “At the same time, the new branches in New York and Maryland will help to provide needed capacity for the East Coast market.”
