- Company chief visits Rüsselsheim and engages with employees
- Clear commitment to corporate plan “Drive Opel 2022”
The GM Chairman and CEO, Dan Akerson, attended an all employee
meeting of the Adam Opel AG at its headquarters in Ruesselsheim
(Germany). Several thousand members of staff gathered in the K48 hall to
receive first-hand information. In addition, Akerson addressed their
questions about the situation of the company and the forward looking
plan “Drive Opel 2022”.
Akerson referred to the continuing and difficult economic climate in
Europe. However, at the same time he underscored the need and
determination to return Opel to growth as a significant part of GM’s
global success. “A company like GM needs a strong presence in Europe,
powerful design and product development as well as a strong network of
dealerships. Opel fulfills this role.” According to Akerson Opel will
again sell more than a million vehicles this year and will continue to
play a leading role in GM’s global product development.

“There are several positive signs that demonstrate that our corporate
plan is starting to work,” Akerson added. He referred to the reduction
of overheads by 300 million dollars in the year to date. “We are relying
on our own hard work and are not counting on a tailwind from the
markets,” Akerson said. The comprehensive product offensive including
appealing, new vehicles like the compact Mokka SUV and the chic, urban
ADAM will, according to Akerson, continue to be a key element.
