Van Vliet Trucks opens in Ghana

01 May Van Vliet Trucks opens in Ghana

Friday, 27 January 2012 was an im­portant date for Van Vliet Trucks. It was the day the Netherlands­ based dealer in commercial vehicles opened its Ghana premises. More than 250 dignitaries, including diplomats and customers of the compa­ny, attended the special occasion, witnessing speeches by the representatives of the Dutch Embassy in Ghana and oth­er VIPs. The guests were taken through a tour of the premises of the compa­ny, comprising parking lot, offices and workshops.

The event was also used by Van Vli­et Trucks to launch its unique one-stop shop concept in Ghana. The company will not only have a large stock of 4-wheel drives and trucks available in Ghana, but also of heavy eq uipment and spare parts.

The ultra-modern facility consists of a well-equipped workshop, where the company can perform all kinds of re pairs with European equipment, and a custom-bonded area of more than 10,000 square metres, where vehicles, includ­ing new 4WDs and trucks, are parked. Founded 59 years ago, the Van Vliet Automotive Group has been active in­ternationally for many years. It also has a large office and warehouse in Dubai, co­ordinating sales activities in the Middle East and East Africa. West Africa is be­coming an important outlet for Van Vli­et Trucks, too, which is why the company decided to open shop in Ghana.
