Bilia and Porsche Sweden strengthen cooperation through new establishment of Porsche Center in Kristianstad

Bilia currently conducts sales and service from the German sports car manufacturer Porsche at two Porsche Centers in southern Sweden, in Malmö and in Helsingborg.

Together with Porsche Sweden, we are now preparing the next step of our collaboration by planning for a new establishment and construction of another Porsche sales and service facility in Kristianstad. At present there are a total of eleven Porsche Centers in Sweden. New Porsche Center Kristianstad will increase Bilia’s presence in the region and enable even better service for new and existing Porsche customers.

Per Avander, Managing Director and CEO Bilia AB, comments:
”We are very happy to be able to continue our journey together with Porsche Sweden by establishing a completely new full-service facility, in accordance with Bilia’s One-stop-shop concept, for our operation in the Porsche business. This means that Bilia will continue to be a strong representative of Porsche in the southern part of Sweden.”

Reine Wermelin, Director Porsche Sweden, comments:
”We are grateful for the continued trust Bilia shows us through such an investment. Porsche in Sweden has had a strong sales trend for several years. Our rechargeable cars, where sales have now passed 60 per cent, contribute to further growth. Thus, there is a need to continue to increase the capacity of the dealer network. Bilia’s establishment of Porsche Center Kristianstad helps us to continue to look positively to the future.”
