GM will be importing more vehicles from China to supply the Middle East following a re-evaluation of its sourcing strategy triggered by Covid-19, according to Sulaiman Pallak, head of purchasing and supply chain for GM Africa and Middle East.
Pallak was speaking at last week’s Automotive Logistics Livestream Hour – Middle East and North Africa supply chains – the route to recovery. He explained that the impact of Covid-19 started to hit sales at the beginning of April and led to a tough second quarter for the carmaker, as sales dropped across the region and the company strove to comprehend the impact on operations.
