With the arrest of Chairman Carlos Ghosn Renault and Nissan, the situation in Renault-Nissan has become tense, attention is focusing on the influence on Korea's Renault Samsung.
Renault Group of France announced on Tuesday (local time) that it has appointed Thierry Volore Renault chief operating officer as interim CEO (CEO) on behalf of Chairman Gon, who is under investigation by the Japanese prosecution. Renault Group held an emergency board meeting and decided to keep its position as chairman and CEO of the group, saying, "It is impossible to conduct normal activities at a time."
Some predict that Renault Samsung could have a negative effect if Chairman Gon steps down. Chairman Gon has been friendly towards Renault Samsung. Chairman Gon was also the one who decided to allow Renault Samsung to receive log supplies from Nissan in 2014. Renault Samsung`s exports of Nissan logs are scheduled until September of next year, and it has yet to be decided on a subsequent quota. Against this backdrop, it is expected that if Chairman Gon steps down, it will be disadvantageous to allocate additional supplies.안전놀이터 추천
Renault Samsung says the group`s issue does not affect the company much. "Tieri Volore, who is the interim CEO, is the chief operating officer of Renault and has been in charge of the overall operation of Renault Group," a Renault Samsung source said. I have visited Korea several times and I am well aware of the situation of Renault Samsung.
On the assignment of next year`s log follow-up, he said, "The Busan factory was assigned to the Nissan log project in 2014 because the company`s self-rescue efforts, including raising production capacity, have been affected." However, I think it is more important to make efforts to make up for the situation since the export environment is worse than in 2014 due to rising labor costs and weak yen.
