Gábor Ormosy has been appointed chief executive officer by AutoWallis Plc., a company listed in the Standard category of the Budapest Stock Exchange. The expert with considerable experience in finance and corporate governance is tasked with helping to develop the long-term strategy of the regional automotive company, and to have its growth plans realized. As it is known, the shares of AutoWallis became listed at the BSE in February, and the management of the corporation is to develop its five-year strategy by May. In this, they expect to have the group double its revenue in this period, as compared to the HUF 70.2 billion revenue of last year (preliminary, non-consolidated data based on the Hungarian Act on Accounting). The company is constantly searching for those investment opportunities in Hungary, Eastern Europe, and the Balkan region, which could advance the realization of the designated objectives. In the course of implementing this strategy, AutoWallis may continue expanding by acquiring new brands and markets, as well as getting involved in new lines of business. Their medium-term plans include opening further vehicle distribution points and developing the existing dealership and service network in Hungary and in the region. The group is also looking into the opportunities resulting from the transformation of the industry, like the developments in the field of electric vehicles, the introduction of self-driving cars, as well as the strengthening of carsharing. Besides these developments, the opening of new sales channels could also provide new investment opportunities for AutoWallis. These objectives may be realized via acquisitions, the founding of new companies, and by expanding the activities of the existing ones.
