I just read on an obscure post on the Business report that SAM (South African Merchants) are set to buy over Gomoto in South Africa.
SAM are importers for the Jonway, Bajaj, Shineray, and Regal Raptor brands and Gomoto import and distribute the Gomoto range (naturally).
While the consolidation will be good (hopefully for distributors, dealers and clients alike) I wonder what this means for the overlapping product lines? Bashan and Gomoto both have trailies, as well as motards, then Gomoto has the Buzz which is near identical to the Jonway Spirit.
Do you think they will cull some of the product range?
