AALM’s main markets are in Central and Eastern Europe, accounting for more than two-thirds of the sales volume. The rest of the sales are in the developed markets of the EU. While Hungary, England, Ireland, Spain and Slovakia have been the traditional markets, AALM plans to enter the Ukrainian and Russian markets in the future.

It is amongst the largest domestic vehicle producers.Contrary to industry trend, AALM registered a 25% growth in sales volume during 2008 compared to the previous year.
