- Being a part of SDCM is a great honour for me, but also an obligation. I have supported this organization since it has been established. As a person connected with the automotive industry almost since my birth, as my father owned a repair garage, I was an active observer of automotive market. From business perspective I have been co-creating the industry for 23 years. Our customers, and at the same time our industry colleagues, need their voice, which can be heard and listened to in various types of institutions which are regulating the industry. Free market is a guarantee of freedom of choice for the drivers, and at the same time possibility of operation for independent garages. It is favourable for spare parts manufacturers and distributors, as well as for car makers and dealers. Final customer - a driver, should be taking the decision about where ad for how much he or she is to repair their car. In the future the Customer should keep this right and decide about the above. Operating system of a car is processing more and more data, not only about the vehicle, but what is more important, about its user. We must keep that in mind. I will proudly support our SDCM - said Krzysztof Soszyński.
SDCM is a non-governmental organization, which is to protect the rights and interest of the automotive industry sector. The Association is a part of the greatest European organizations connected with the automotive industry - CLEPA and FIGIEFA, which have a real influence on various legislation decisions regarding the market internationally.
