Dealer holdings!
There are those which have incorporated and achieved giant turnovers.
“Just like in every sector, falling profit margins are pushing companies
in the automotive sector to be more focused. This situation will enable
some players to break through. In the future, backed by the
manufacturers, we shall see more dealers, mega dealers and dealer groups
than we do today. Within five years there will be at least 10 dealer
groups and mega dealers amongst the upper ranks for the Capital 500
companies.”
These words belong to Tarık Taşar, the head of the Automotive Authorized Dealers’ Association (OYDER), which represents the 300 largest automotive dealers in Turkey. Taşar says that the future lies with automotive dealers such as Has Otomotiv and Şahsuvaroğlu which have gone from being stores to SMEs and then today giant companies.
