“With this, Opel strengthens its presence in Israel, an important export market for the brand,” the automaker said in a statement.
“We have been on the right track in Israel since beginning this cooperation two years ago. We are very pleased that with the Shlomo Group we have one of the strongest Israeli companies as a sales associate and reliable partner. By renewing our contract early, we not only reinforce this cooperation, but also our brand in Israel,” said Neumann.
According to Opel, the Shlomo Group is the leading automotive and largest car rental group in Israel. The company has been importing and selling the GM vehicles and spare parts since spring 2011.
Last year around 4,600 cars were sold and 2013 sales are expected to exceed 5,000.
