Zamier Ahmed, board member of the Turkish company Brightwell Holdings spoke to ttela.se. He sounds pretty optimistic when it comes to the acquisition of Saab.
He even claims that GM is positive to their attempt. After all this is just one party among others who are interested in Saab. Still, it is ecouraging to read that there are still parties showing real interest in Saab.
In six months, Zamier Ahmed followed Saab’s development on the Turkish investment company’s behalf. Brightwell Holding, which operates globally with an expressed interest in the environment, wants to buy Saab for two main reasons, according to Ahmed: for the well-known and quality brand Saab, and for the most advanced technology available in the company.
We definitely want to keep production in Trollhättan, but need to look at exactly how much. But all is not inconceivable, says Ahmed.
During the past six months, he has been in contact with Victor Muller, with the hope of a share or a purchase of Saab as a whole. But, as Ahmed says, Muller chose to stick to the Chinese investors.
Because Ahmed is not the only one interested in the Saab factory. Again according to Saabsunited, the Indians (Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd)are still in the game. According to chinese media (who have been wrong several times) the Chinese company Dongfeng has announced interest in buying all of Saab. The brand wants to develop its own car-brand and the remains of Saab would be of great help. The purchase request includes all of Saab including the production facilities in Trollhättan according to Beijing Times.
It seems the Trolls can start again with making Saabs again in 2012, that is good news for us as Saab drivers and of course also for the museum.
hope saab will be turkish.
