Suzuki Philippines, Inc. (SPH), the only integrated motorcycle and automobile company in the country, recently inaugurated its new satellite office in Davao City last November 23, 2011, in line with its motorcycle production expansion plans for 2012.
According to Satoshi Uchida, SPH President, “With our new office and service bay in Davao, our current and prospective consumers will only be assured of an even enhanced customer relations. “ He adds, “The move also brings Suzuki to a more accessible space to our clients in this part of Mindanao.”
The new SPH office located at Dacudao Avenue, Agdao, Davao City, features a bigger and better office space, showroom and warehouse in the southern part of the Philippines.
“The supply chain in Southern Philippines would be improved. Hence, delivery time of Suzuki motorcycles will be expedited, preventing stock-out situations in the region,” explains Eiji Kobayashi, SPH General Manager for Motorcycle Sales and Marketing Division.
At present, sales of motorcycles in the country stands at 120,000 annually. However, the motorcycle industry is growing at a robust rate as it has become a widely accepted means of transportation in the country.
In early June this year, Suzuki Philippines, Inc. has began the construction of a bigger assembly plant in Canlubang, Laguna to replace the Pasig City plant in Metro Manila, which has reached its maximum output potential of 8,000 units per month. The estimated P1-billion plant is expected to be completed by 2012, and is expected to accommodate production of 200,000 units annually.
