Mitsubishi Talks Shop

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation strengthened its engagement with key government agencies during the Philippine International Motor Show, as the company pushes its role in the country’s automotive manufacturing sector.

MMPC President and CEO Ritsu Imaeda met with Bureau of Customs Port of Batangas District Collector Carmelita Talusan and Department of Trade and Industry Board of Investments Executive Director Corazon Halili-Dichosa during the event.

The meetings focused on MMPC’s continued coordination with agencies involved in trade, investment and industrial development.

MMPC said its partnership with the Bureau of Customs Port of Batangas remains important to its operations. The port serves as a key gateway for the importation of Mitsubishi vehicles and components.

The company also cited its work with the DTI-BOI as part of its long-term commitment to local automotive development. MMPC said this includes support for government electrification programs and plans involving the local production of hybrid electric vehicles.

“Constructive engagement with our government stakeholders remains important as we continue to contribute to the growth of the Philippine automotive industry,” Imaeda said.

He said the company values discussions with government partners as it looks for ways to support shared economic and industrial goals.

MMPC operates a 23-hectare manufacturing plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna with a maximum production capacity of 50,000 units. The company locally manufactures the Mirage, Mirage G4 and L300.
