Kamux continues to expand in Germany - showroom no. 5 to be opened in Tostedt
Kamux, a company specialising in used car sales, is continuing its strong growth. Kamux is further expanding its operations in Germany by opening a new showroom in Tostedt during the summer in 2019.
Building the showroom network in Hamburg area
The Tostedt showroom will be situated southwest of Hamburg in the direction of Bremen. Tostedt is part of Hamburg metropolitan area, and the new showroom is strengthening Kamux’s foothold in the area. The showroom is about 45-minute drive from Kamux’s Nedderfeld showroom. The fifth showroom means a wider range of cars and more options for customers. The number of cars in the Tostedt showroom will be about 140 but, because of Kamux’s business concept, the entire German selection is within the reach of customers regardless of where or how they choose to do business.
Excellent location between Hamburg and Bremen
“Tostedt in an economic center and a vivid retail area. It is located along the connection between two large metropolitan regions, Hamburg and Bremen. This offers us an excellent opportunity to be near customers. The Tostedt showroom will have a large outdoor area as well as good showroom facilities,” says Oliver Michels, German Country Director.
Strong growth in Germany
“I am excited about our expansion in Germany. We opened two new showrooms during the last quarter in 2018, and we will be opening yet another one. It is great to see our strong growth in Germany. The combination of physical showrooms and digital presence lies at the core of our business model. The digital platform creates transparency and the chance to compare alternatives and prices. In the showrooms, customers are able to get help from our professionals and face-to-face service which is highly appreciated. We are pleased with the customer response to Kamux’s concept and because of that, we are growing fast internationally and expanding our network even further,” says Olli Kilpi, Director of International Business, Kamux.
Kamux hiring new staff
“Kamux has a unique training programme where new employees will have the opportunity to learn the profession and customer service skills. Hiring locally is important to us. We want to support communities by employing from within them. We’ll start recruiting the Tostedt sales team soon. The right attitude is key, so previous experience in car sales is not essential,” says Oliver Michels.
