From now on, Mr. Wittkuhn, Commercial director and authorized
officer, took over the moderation and management of the
meeting. After a short introduction of all participants, he
presented the historical development and the current business
activities of alga. For more than 50 years alga has been dealing
with used and new commercial vehicles, construction machinery,
buses and special vehicles. Thus, a current status of 1000
to 1500 vehicles in the fleet can be recorded. In addition to the
trade with vehicles and machines, alga also offers workshops on
service and maintenance work for their traded machines under
the name of TBS Trucks & Services. And this is exactly where the
interests of the company and the Cameroonian delegation meet.
For the Africans it is of great interest to import trucks and machines,
but these also have to be maintained and repaired. Alga
would like to make offers exactly here and make it by means of
her valuable expertise African workers possible to learn an equivalent
know-how in order to manage in the future independently
and competently repair work.
Also Mr. Gaßmann, managing director of alga, made it possible
to participate in the meeting. The African businessmen
presented their projects in his presence. Mr. Gaßmann exchanged
intensively with the Cameroonians and expressed constructive
criticism, suggestions and recognition from his experience.
This was also very well received by the Cameroonians, as they
want to constantly improve themselves and their projects. After
the presentations a delicious lunch was provided.
The delegation was then able to view all the vehicles on the alga
site, ask questions and obtain offers. After each of the participants
had expressed their potential interest in favorite vehicles,
the visit was followed by more concrete business negotiations.
Mr. Brunkhorst took the time for each individual customer to
select the best possible offers and coordinated them with the
interests of the Cameroonians. At the end of the meeting it can
be said that alga, afriboom and the Cameroonian delegation had
another successful meeting.
