THIS IS UNUSED POTENTIAL OF OPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COUNTRY, SAYS PAVEL VESELY FROM VW.

Bulgaria provides relatively few parts for VW Group and this is unused potential for your country, ended his presentation the representative of the VW Group on the International Automotive Conference Bulgaria Pavel Vesely. In crisis the supplies from Eastern European countries actually had been increased, he said. Vesely manages offices for supplies in Budapest and Istanbul with 45 people who work with suppliers from Eastern Europe and Turkey. In 2008, VW has received parts from Eastern Europe for EUR 115 million, and this year they are for about 200 million. The largest share logically is in the countries where the biggest factories for final assembly of cars are – the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Bulgaria was invisible on his map.

Pavel Vesely has presented the mechanism for selection of suppliers for the most ambitious car manufacturer currently. The process is long and goes through several phases. The experts are seeking for appropriate manufacturers, evaluate their potential and enter into negotiations with them and when have them approved they support them. Any error at the beginning of the procedure may have serious consequences in the future. Therefore, prevention of errors is the principle of each stage of the work.
