PM-International Hits 500th Car Handover of 2026 in Just Eight Months

Milestone reached two months earlier than last year

PM-International AG has reached the 500th car handover in its car programme in 2026, and it needed just eight months to do so. According to the company, that is two months earlier than the comparable point in the previous year.

Since the beginning of 2026, an average of more than two vehicles per day have been handed over to Vertriebspartner through the programme. The PM car programme itself is not new: it was launched in 1999 and has since been described by the company as an important element of its support for Vertriebspartner. In Germany, around 2,000 Vertriebspartner currently make use of it.

From fixed grade-based support to a structure-linked model

In 2026 the further development of the car programme was given particular emphasis. Previously, the support was a fixed amount tied to the Vertriebspartner's bonus grade; under the new model it is instead linked to the targeted expansion of the structure.

According to PM-International, the revamp of the car programme involves an investment of up to 8 million euros worldwide. The company positions the programme as a mobility tool: it is intended to help leaders stay mobile, look after customers and teams in person, and attend trainings, business academies and international events.

Mobility has featured in other company measures as well. Vertriebspartner have also been supported with fuel vouchers.

Anniversary adjustments and the handover itself

To mark its 33rd anniversary, the company raised the average point value of FitLine products by 3.3 percent. At the same time, it increased the onboarding (Einarbeitungs-) bonus by 20 percent.

Patrick Bacher, CEO of PM-International AG in Speyer, said the car programme has served for more than 25 years to make business success visible and to support Vertriebspartner, calling the 500th handover in 2026 a milestone and an expression of the strong performance of the Vertriebspartner.

At the handover marking the milestone, Vertriebspartner Josef Braun received his vehicle in the presence of CEO Patrick Bacher and International Sales Director Andreas Kirstein.
