To further expand its growing business in the provinces, Suzuki Philippines, Inc (SPH), the only integrated motorcycle and automobile company and the pioneer manufacturer of compact vehicles in the country, formally opened its latest auto satellite showroom located at SM City General Santos.
The satellite showroom, which is owned and managed by Grand Canyon Multi-Holdings, Inc., is the first Suzuki Automobile satellite outlet of the group and first-ever satellite showroom in Mindanao. Led by the President Jan Andrew T. Po, the group started selling operations to bring customer convenience by providing sales and spare parts to car enthusiasts in the South.
Shuzo Hoshikura, General Manager of Suzuki Philippines, said, “The formal opening of the satellite showroom in SM City General Santos is anticipated to strengthen SPH’s thrust of bringing the Suzuki Way of Life in the area. Suzuki Auto General Santos is our 21st satellite outlet and 51st total automobile outlet but we still continue expanding to other provincial areas because we want our customers to experience the innovative products that we are offering.”
“We have seen the exponential growth of the city and we believe that opening a satellite showroom in this area will help us achieve better growth by the end of this year, ” explained Hoshikura.
At present, Suzuki Philippines posted an impressive growth of 37-percent for the first 6 months of 2016, surpassing the 27.1 mid-year sales growth achieved by the entire automotive industry. The opening of Suzuki Auto General Santos satellite showroom will help fuel the growth of Suzuki Philippines as it makes owning a Suzuki more convenient for the motorists in General Santos City.
Prior to the inauguration of the satellite showroom, Suzuki Philippines opened its 3S dealership in General Santos City last February 2015. Located at J. Catolico Avenue, Lagao, Suzuki Auto General Santos is a one-stop shop that offers Sales, Spare parts, and Services to deliver customers a complete Suzuki Way of Life experience.
