Bentley to Open New Dealership in Kazakhstan

The growing demand for Bentleys worldwide made the British luxury car manufacturer consider opening a new dealership outside the company’s traditional markets. The luxury brand will therefore soon be represented in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with the official opening in Suyunbai Street 100, scheduled for mid 2010.

The new Bentley Almaty dealership will be operated by Premier Auto, as Michael Mayer, Bentley Motors’ Regional Director for Europe and the UK, confirmed today, after handing a letter of intent to Oleg Minchenko of Kazakhstan Premier Metro Group.

“Since the launch of the Bentley Continental family we have welcomed a new breed of entrepreneurs to the brand, especially in fast-developing economies such as Kazakhstan,” Michael Mayer said in a release.

“Undoubtedly the power, performance and luxury of our models are a key part of this success but so too is the authenticity of the Bentley name. From the Le Mans winning Bentley Boys of the 1920s to today’s 630PS Continental Supersports there is an unbroken heritage of outstanding design, craftsmanship and engineering. “

Premier Metro Group’s other business interests encompass distribution and retail of luxury goods such as watches, jewelery, high-end mobile phones as well as fine wines.

“We look forward to working with Premier Metro Group, whose understanding of the luxury market in Kazakhstan makes them the ideal partners for us in this exciting country,” Mayer commented on the partnership with Premier Metro Group.
