Schmitz Cargobull opens subsidiaries in Georgia and Kazakhstan
October 2023 – Schmitz Cargobull has again delivered on its "We are where our customers are" brand promise, after unveiling two subsidiaries in Georgia and Kazakhstan.
Schmitz Cargobull relies not only on a well-developed production network but also on direct sales through subsidiaries in almost all European countries and strategically important sales markets worldwide. With the two newly founded subsidiaries, the European market leader is expanding its presence and further increasing its proximity to customers.
At the ceremonial opening of the two new locations in Tbilisi and Almaty, representatives of the Schmitz Cargobull Board of Management and the respective country representatives met with customers and local media at the end of September.
"We are very pleased to expand our business activities in Georgia and Kazakhstan with our local expert teams,” said Boris Billich, Chief Sales Officer of Schmitz Cargobull.
“Our goal is to provide our customers in these important markets with better service and quality by offering them innovative products and solutions that are optimally tailored to their needs. With the step to full-fledged national companies, we reaffirm our promise to be close to our customers, to solve their requirements in the best possible way with our products and services, and to be a direct partner for success. Vehicles, spare parts, repair solutions, telematics and financing services are offered at European level."
New subsidiaries for even more individual and direct support
With Schmitz Cargobull Georgia LLC in Georgia, the European market leader is creating a solid basis for its business activities throughout the Caucasus. The subsidiary, based in Gardabani in the Tbilisi region, offers local customers direct and individual support for the entire Caucasian catchment area. This includes new and used trailers for freight transport, the construction industry, refrigerated transport and agriculture. The range of services is also being further expanded. With a turnover of 6.8 million euros and over 130 vehicle units sold, the 6-strong team was able to further expand its position as market leader last year and can now respond even better to the needs of transport companies, especially in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, thanks to the local branch.
Address: Schmitz Cargobull Georgia LLC, Village Martkhopi, Gardabani, Georgia 1320 (Coordinates 41.67177969019, 45.02279045061203)
The new subsidiary TOO Schmitz Cargobull KAZ, based in Otegen-Batyr in the Almaty/Kazakhstan region, provides comprehensive support in the STAN states. The Central Asian market had already been supplied for several years by sales representatives of Schmitz Cargobull AG. Last year, the 18-strong team achieved sales of 49 million euros with over 800 vehicle units sold.
With the new subsidiary, Schmitz Cargobull can provide targeted support to transport companies in Kazakhstan and the neighbouring countries of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. This is because it is not only the sale of new and used trailers that is being further expanded by the dedicated team under the leadership of Country Manager Yuriy Tsoy. A workshop with trained personnel is available for repair or retrofit orders, and a new spare parts warehouse has been set up on site for the comprehensive and rapid supply of spare parts. Appropriate sales and presentation areas are also available for used vehicles. In addition, the service partner network, currently consisting of 12 service partners in Kazakhstan, is being continuously expanded.
