Ford Romania, export center for Europe by 2018

Ford Romania will become the American carmaker’s export center for Europe in 2018, or even 2 years sooner. The announcement was made by Paul Flanagan, the managing director of Ford Romania National Sales Company, which added that by that time the local auto market will sell 500,000 cars annually. Flanagan stated that, once the sales company is set up, car dealer networks will extend to include four other partners and new showrooms in Botosani, Slobozia, Giurgiu, Zalau, Vaslui and Calarasi.

According to Flanagan, the office to set up Ford Romania’s National Sales Company was opened early April, adding the company has already started to recruit staff.

On August 1, Ford Romania will open the National Sales Company which will take over the activity of Ford dealer Romcar.
