The Birth of eurotaxGlass: A Journey Through Time
In 1933, William Glass published the renowned “Glass’s Guide to Car Values,” which soon became the go-to resource for the British automotive industry. Around the same time, Hanns W. Schwacke from Germany introduced the concept of a used car price list, bringing about a revolution in post-war Germany. Meanwhile, Glass’s expanded its presence in the Australian market.
In the 1960s, Helmuth H. Lederer established EurotaxGlass’s in Austria, setting up branches in Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland. This expansion aimed to provide standardized used car values to the automotive industry. As the business grew, EurotaxGlass’s showcased its expertise by developing a new calculation system for repair costs. This system provided dealers with detailed information on component prices and labor costs for all makes and models.
The advent of PCs in the 1980s transformed information processing in the automotive industry. EurotaxGlass’s installed the first car value workstation software, becoming the foundation for over 15,000 dealers and more than 50,000 users across Europe. The Glass’s Guide now also appeared in a PC version.
In the 1990s, EurotaxGlass’s and Glass’s data became the industry standard, with European governments utilizing these data for their national registration systems. Continuous innovation led to the development of new solutions and systems, including residual value forecasts and calculations for mechanical damages and accident repairs.
