Volvo puts its network into top gear to double sales

"By 2013 we would like to increase our sales to almost 6,000 cars per year. The objective is realistic. In Poland the premium segment accounts for only almost 7%, while in Western Europe it is almost twice this amount," said Paweł Kacprzyk, president of Volvo Auto Polska. To accomplish this goal the firm will expand its sales network by establishing five new showrooms, which will be financed by the partners who will have to spend zł.40 million for this purpose, while an additional zł.11 million will be devoted to modernizing their existing facilities. "This is a very well managed sales network. Volvo dealers appreciate their good relations with the importer, which translates into favorable treatment of clients," said Roman Kantorski, president of the Polish Automotive Chamber (PIM).
