Suzuki Philippines, in partnership with MG Gateway Mantrade Corporation, has inaugurated Suzuki Auto Sta. Rosa that marks a significant milestone in a shared commitment to bring reliable mobility solutions closer to Filipino families and businesses.
The third Suzuki dealership under the Gateway Mantrade network further strengthens the group’s footprint in Southern Luzon.
Strategically located along Km. 49 Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road, the new dealership is in the heart of the thriving city of Sta. Rosa, widely known as the “Lion City of the South.”
As the city continues to grow rapidly, the dealership is poised to serve as a key access point for Suzuki customers in the region.
Leading the inaugural ceremony was Norihide Takei, director and general manager of Suzuki Philippines’ Automobile Division.
In his welcome remarks, Takei extended his gratitude to the Gateway Group for their continued trust and dedication to the Suzuki brand.
Big milestone
“Today marks the opening of MG Gateway Mantrade’s third Suzuki dealership. This is a big milestone,” Takei said.
“We are proud to work with such a strong and trusted partner. This new dealership will open many doors, not just for Suzuki, but also for your team and the community.”
The new facility features a four-vehicle showroom where customers can explore Suzuki’s range of models in a comfortable and welcoming environment. It also features a six-bay service area, designed to deliver high-quality, efficient, and customer-centric after-sales service.
Among the key figures from MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. who graced the opening were chairperson Markane Earle Goho, president Raymond Basubas and vice president Martin Paulo Arancon.
Goho expressed his appreciation for the strong collaboration with Suzuki Philippines, stating: “We are truly grateful to Mr. Takei and the entire Suzuki team for their unwavering support. We deeply appreciate Takei-san’s passion and hands-on leadership in steering the brand forward. At Gateway, we are fully committed to growing the Suzuki business. It’s reassuring to work with a partner whose business principles align closely with ours.”
21st year in the industry
Vice president Martin Paulo Arancon also highlighted a timely celebration for the group. “This year marks Gateway’s 21st year in the automotive industry, and what better way to celebrate than by opening another Suzuki dealership,” he said.
“We are thankful to Suzuki Philippines and Takei-san for the trust and confidence. We also extend our gratitude to our bank partners for their consistent support throughout the years. And of course, to our loyal clients, thank you for your continued trust. With Suzuki Auto Sta. Rosa, we hope to serve this growing community even better,” Arancon added.
