Zeren Group Holding acquired Alfemo
Alfemo Mobilya, a company that exports to nearly 20 countries in addition to Türkiye through its widespread sales network, will now continue its operations under the umbrella of Zeren Group Holding. Zeren Group Holding’s Chairman of Board of Directors and CEO Mustafa Yiğit Zeren commented on the news by saying, “We will increase Alfemo’s brand recognition and global growth with new investments in the coming period.”
Zeren Group Holding, which has been adding value to the Turkish economy since 1973, acquired Alfemo, one of the leading players in its sector with its modular group, upholstered furniture group and bed production. Zeren Group Holding has thus entered the furniture sector with this new acquisition, and will focus on further strengthening the operations of Alfemo which has been active since 1997 and exports to nearly 20 countries.
'THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO OUR STRATEGIC GROWTH'
Zeren Group Holding’s Chairman and CEO Mustafa Yiğit Zeren stated that the acquisition, for which the Competition Board’s approval regarding the share transfer was also received, will contribute to the group’s strategic growth targets, and added, “We have been serving the country’s economy through different business lines for 52 years. With the addition of Alfemo, a well-established and experienced brand of the Turkish furniture sector, to our companies, we now have stepped into a brand new sector. As a group with significant investments abroad, we will strive to increase both Alfemo's operations in Türkiye and its brand value globally.”
Underlining that they will make significant investments in Türkiye and abroad in the medium term, Zeren said, “Alfemo currently has 64 stores in Türkiye and 21 concept stores and ‘corners’ abroad. We plan to rapidly increase the number of stores in Türkiye to 100 by the end of the year and to increase the number of employees, which currently stands at 460. Increasing our recognition abroad by maintaining this growth trend is among our most important goals. Inspired by our experience spanning over half a century, we will continue to undertake investments that will add value to our country and allow us to fly our country’s flag high with pride."
