HÄMEENLINNA, Finland, July 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kamux, a company specializing in
used car sales, continues to implement its growth strategy and will
open a new flagship showroom in the Lakalaiva area in Tampere, Finland in late spring 2024. The new
megastore with app. 400 cars will be opened in a completely new
building that will be purpose-built with Kamux's needs in mind. The
passenger car sales currently operating in Hatanpää, Tampere, and the commercial vehicle sales
already operating in the Lakalaiva area will be transferred to the
new showroom. The showroom's central location in the intersection
of two major highways makes doing business with Kamux easy for both
private and professional customers as well as offers logistical
benefits. In the Tampere area,
Kamux also serves its customers in its 200-car megastore in
Ideapark in Lempäälä.
"The new showroom that is being built in Lakalaiva and will open
next spring is a flagship showroom in accordance with our renewed
store concept. We signed a longer than usual lease, as the showroom
will be purpose-built to fit our needs in line with the principles
of sustainable development. We are looking forward to its
completion," says Jani Koivu,
Country Director for Kamux in Finland. "In line with our strategy, we focus
our operations on larger showrooms where we can display more cars.
In addition to a wide selection and more efficient handling of cars
and logistics, the larger showroom size also enables more flexible
opening hours."
In designing the new Lakalaiva showroom, special attention has
been paid to the property's energy efficiency and minimizing its
environmental impact. The load-bearing parts of the building are
low-carbon wooden structures, and the office and social spaces will
also be built with CLT solid wood structures. There will be a solar
power plant on the roof of the property and the energy obtained
from it will be used for cooling the property and in electric
vehicle charging stations to be built on the site. The property is
heated with local energy, 50% of which is produced by renewable
energy sources and by 2030, 90%.
"As the showroom size increases, the energy efficiency of the
properties is even more important than before and it is great that
we are able to open our new flagship showroom in a property where
energy efficiency and sustainable building principles have been
taken into account already in the planning phase. It is also great
that the EV charging stations use renewable energy produced on the
roof of the showroom. As Finland's
largest seller of used cars, we also sell a lot of used EV's and
thus accelerate the renewal and electrification of the car fleet in
Finland," continues Koivu.
Kamux has 46 showrooms in Finland and a comprehensive network of
showrooms is an integral part of Kamux's cross-selling concept,
where the company's selection of more than 7,000 cars is available
for sale in all stores and customers can choose the most suitable
way of doing business for them. The extensive 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 the in-take of trade-in cars.
