What is Agidel Auto Trading Company today? In which regions of the country do you see presence as a point of growth for yourself?
Today the company is a leader in the distribution and wholesale of automotive components in the market of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The company is developing in the following areas: automotive components for domestic and imported cars, lubricants, batteries, auto chemicals, auto accessories. The priority for us has always been and will be the Republic of Bashkortostan, but we are also developing in neighboring republics and regions.
Would you tell us about the regional specific features of the auto components market, as well as the current situation in the region? What changes have taken place in your company?
Our regional specific features do not differ much from the statistically average region of Russia, but still has a number of differences. In our region, there is both European and Asian and domestic auto industry. Agidel Auto is actively engaged in the development of not only the range for all cars, but also puts into operation new storage areas, which amount to 25,000 square meters.
How recently has your company's brand portfolio changed? What is the guide for you in choosing a product range?
The Agidel Auto brand portfolio is actively changing, some brands are leaving, new ones are coming in. There is a shortage of auto components of the brands, which left Russia, but at the same time, alternative manufacturers are emerging. We try to work with all companies and manufacturers, the availability of an assortment is especially important.
As for Agidel Auto, we have decided to work with those brands that have remained and are ready to develop with us.
If we talk about the role of personality in business. What has a greater impact - the energy of a leader or streamlined business processes?
I believe that these two postulates are linked and can only exist together. The main leaders in business for our team company are - our founders, who inspire us and guide us to new achievements. At the same time, success is achieved only when all business processes well functioned
What is the next for the auto parts market?
Making a forecast in the current situation is a thankless pursuit. I can only note that the share of original components and supplies in Russia has significantly decreased. At the same time, we did not stop sales and found alternative sources, including through parallel imports.
In addition, I want to note that many companies allocate their own trademarks. For example, at the event on September 15, organized by Nexus, the 6 private labels were presented.
From the negative side, the main concern may be an increase in the number of counterfeit, since in conditions of shortage it is becoming increasingly difficult to focus on quality, but Agidel Auto has been successfully dealing with any changes in the market for 27 years.
