Kamux continues to expand, next showroom to be opened in Kaarina

Kamux, a company specializing in used car sales, continues its strong growth by opening 41^th car showroom in Finland in Kaarina. 

A new 700 square meter showroom will be opened in November in Autoilijankatu 31. In the Kaarina showroom, there will be three car salesmen serving customers.

Showroom network in Southwest Finland will be strengthened further

"Located near the city of Turku, Kaarina is a rapidly-growing city with population over 32.000. It was easy to make a decision to open a new showroom in Southwest Finland", Country Manager Jussi Mäkinen says.

Currently Kamux has already three showrooms serving customers in this area of Finland. They are located in Turku, Raisio and Salo.

Expansion means more options and enhanced selection for customers

"Comprehensive showroom network supports our growth targets and serves our customers. Expansion means also more options and enhanced selection of cars, thus we are able to serve better all our customers everywhere in Finland", Country Director Mäkinen explains.

"Besides, Kamux has received particularly good feedback from friendly service as well as from trade-in car appraisal in the Auto Bild Finland Service 1 purchase study", Mäkinen continues.

Already 52 Kamux showrooms in three countries

Kaarina showroom will be Kamux's 52^nd showroom totally. In the new showroom there is room for 50 cars, but the entire, extensive selection of over 3.100 cars, and also cars in Sweden and Germany, will be within the reach of customers in Kaarina area.

"True to the Kamux operation model, the entire selection of cars available in Finland, and the cars we have in Sweden and Germany, are within the reach of our customers, regardless of which showroom they choose to do business in or through which channel they wish to contact us," says Mäkinen.

Kamux is constantly hiring new sales staff

"With growth we are hiring new staff, particularly new salespersons. The right attitude is key and, therefore, previous experience in car sales is not inevitable," Mäkinen tells.
