Kamux optimizes its showroom network and closes two unprofitable showrooms in Sweden and two in Germany

Kamux Corporation, Press Release, 16.7.2024 at 14:00

HÄMEENLINNA, Finland, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kamux, an omni-channel company specialized in preowned cars and related integrated services, optimizes its showroom network in line with its strategy and closes unprofitable showrooms in Sweden and Germany. In Sweden Kamux closes the showrooms in Norrtälje and Heron City, Stockholm, and in Germany the showrooms in Lübeck and Kaltenkirchen. The showrooms will be closed during July 2024 and their personnel are offered the possibility to transfer to other Kamux showrooms. Following the closures, Kamux will have 20 showrooms in Sweden and eight in Germany.

“Our goal is a geographically comprehensive network of showrooms both in Sweden and Germany. In Sweden this will mean showrooms that are on average somewhat larger than currently and that are aligned with our concept and located in attractive business locations. In the longer term we are exploring opportunities to expand into Northern Sweden and in the greater Stockholm area, but in the short term our number one goal in Sweden is to improve profitability. In Germany our showroom network in the northern part of the country has been unnecessarily dense in relation to demand. Going forward we will expand our network outside of Northern Germany and the Hamburg area, focusing especially on areas with high car density and good demand for preowned cars. Earlier this year we opened a showroom in Siershahn, Southwest Germany, and last year we opened showrooms in Düren, Southwest of Cologne, and in Hameln, close to Hannover. Expanding the coverage of our network in Germany allows us to reach a greater number of both buying and selling customers and improve our brand recognition,” says Tapio Pajuharju, CEO of Kamux Corporation.

A comprehensive network of showrooms is an integral part of Kamux’s omnichannel concept, where customers can choose the most suitable way for them to do business and the entire range of cars is available in all channels in all operating countries. The showroom network also enables test drives and car deliveries to be organized conveniently for customers that choose to do business through digital channels, as well as purchasing cars directly from consumers and the in-take of trade-in cars.

Company marks one year of operation at its Mumbai Customer Experience Center and Digital Innovation Studio in Hyderabad

DENVER and MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TTEC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), a leading global CX (customer experience) technology and services innovator for AI-enhanced CX with solutions from TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital, is marking a significant year of growth in India with the one-year anniversaries of two key facilities: its Mumbai Customer Experience Center and Hyderabad Digital Innovation Studio.

TTEC has been operating in India for 24 years providing support to large global brands through its care, back office, trust and safety, and content moderation capabilities, and more recently with its CX technology talent. Over the past year, TTEC has significantly grown its footprint in India, adding 800 positions to support the new facilities in Mumbai and Hyderabad with plans for more growth in 2025. TTEC has approximately 3,500 employees in total in the country, including its sites in Ahmedabad and Chennai.

Mumbai Attracting New Clients from Across the Globe

TTEC’s Customer Experience Center in Mumbai has been instrumental in delivering world-class customer support and enhancing operational efficiency for its global clients. The center’s diverse and skilled workforce continues to meet the growing demand for innovative customer service solutions with voice and back-office capabilities for multiple global industries including healthcare, banking, financial services, insurance, and tech support. 

India has long been a global leader in the BPO sector, and today’s advanced, AI-driven environment is attracting a new generation of skilled professionals,” said TTEC Engage Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific Operations Arnab Ray. “Our talented, multilingual workforce is well-positioned to deliver innovative CX solutions, making India an essential and important hub for meeting the evolving needs of our global clients. We’re proud of our team here and remain poised to lead in this AI-enabled CX ecosystem.”
