George Kyriazis, who has been running Toyota Romania since 2000, will remain managing director of Toyota Balkans and Toyota Romania reports directly to him. Edit Corcoman, 45, has been working for Toyota since November 1, 2012, having served as Toyota Balkans group finance director.
Toyota Romania is the national sales company for Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia, as agreed by Toyota Motor Europe and is held by UK’s Inchcape, one of the largest auto retailers in the world.
Toyota Romania posted EUR148.6 million revenue in 2015, 20% higher than in 2014. It delivered almost 3,300 Toyota and Lexus cars in Romania last year, compared with 2,900 in 2014.
“Toyota was one of the top six imported brands in Romania for the first time last year. This year we intend to continue last year’s good performance and post growth at least in line with overall auto market,” Edit Corcoman-Tarcolea said.
“This means our goal is growth by at least 14% for Toyota models and about 20% for Lexus models.”
