As the economy bounces back from the pandemic, Suzuki Philippines, the country's pioneer compact car distributor, is further increasing its footprint in the south with a new dealership in Davao.

In line with its target to cement the brand's position in the automotive industry, the company recently unveiled the new Suzuki Auto Matina, marking its second dealership in Mindanao's economic powerhouse.

The newest establishment is the sixth Suzuki dealership of the Autocentral group, a long-standing partner of the brand and is one of the biggest dealerships in the network.

Covering an expansive 3,000-square meter property in Talomo, Davao City, Suzuki expects the new dealership to meet market demand and cater to more customers as it flaunts eight service bays and a showroom that can accommodate up to seven display units.

Among those present during the grand launch was the director and general manager for Suzuki Automobile, Norihide Takei, who expressed confidence that Filipinos in the region can experience better mobility through Suzuki's network expansion.

"The opening of Suzuki's newest dealership in Davao reflects our continuing efforts to bring the brand to more Filipinos looking for a reliable mobility partner. This also shows our support for the Philippine economic recovery as we hope to contribute in generating job opportunities for Filipinos in Davao City," Takei said.

Adding to that, "Suzuki Philippines is excited for this new development, and we are optimistic this dealership will complement the company's business momentum this 2022."
