Irizar predicts an increase of more than 10% on its 2012 record turnover

IRIZAR GROUP, the world renowned bus and coach manufacturer, predicts record turnover of 560 million euros, a 10% increase on the previous year’s figure.

2012 closed with a turnover of 504 million euros and this year the company will set a new record with 560 million euros, representing growth of over 10%.

This growth is once again due to sales across all business areas: Irizar Ormaiztegi, overseas factories and the group’s companies.

Geographical and industrial diversification, a firm commitment to technology, and brand strength are the keys to Irizar’s success, a company that has grown over 124 years from being a family business manufacturing elegant carriages and stagecoaches to a business group that employs 3,400 staff in production plants in Spain, Morocco, Brazil, Mexico, India and South Africa, with a sales presence in over 90 countries and predicted sales of almost 6,000 coaches this year.

Also, strengthening the brand and our customer loyalty strategy across all the Group’s businesses, developing increasingly close relationships to offer customers the products and services that they need, are key to to our results and the strength of our Group.
