VDL Bus and Coach opens a new subsidiary in Madrid, Spain.
The choice to open subsidiary in Spain is the logical continuation of the strategy VDL has chosen to pursue that involves establishing a direct presence of the buses & coaches division in most of the major bus markets in Western Europe. The Spanish bus market is currently undergoing a remarkable boom. After the United Kingdom, Germany and France, Spain is Europe's fourth bus and coach market, and it is the second coach market after Germany.
“We are very proud of the fact that we are also active in this tremendously attractive market with a fully owned VDL Bus & Coach subsidiary. Following a sharp fall during the financial crisis, the market in Spain is now undergoing rapid growth,” says Commercial Director Marcel Jacobs of VDL Bus & Coach.
VDL Bus & Coach España S.L.
VDL Bus & Coach España S.L. is led by Anno Dirksen. He spent the past nine years as managing director of VDL Bus & Coach Italia s.r.l. For the after-sales process, Anno can rely on the vast experience of Angel Gomez, who has been active in the Spanish market for many years. Anno Dirksen says, “It is a huge challenge and honour to lead this new subsidiary in one of the most important and largest Western European markets. In addition to the complete portfolio of VDL Bus & Coach, VDL Bus & Coach España S.L. also provides a reliable after-sales and parts organization.” More news about the further development of VDL Bus & Coach in Spain will follow soon.
