The 2010 MVDP: Feat. the "Filipino Car" or Philippine Brand Vehicles

[romski123]

sa issue ng smuggling in Subic, the media isnt credible

they're biased

they're working for the new-car-makers

like i said, the new-car-makers mounted a massive media campaign against Subic importers

---

its not biased. Im not a new car company. Our company is mostly export.

but i know that Subic imports destroyed the local auto industry.

konti lang nakinabang. at very bad quality vehicles ang naipasok.

Kaya wala ka nang makita sa kalye ngayon.

uls nagpapasok ba kayo ng 2nd hand vehicles thru Subic?

first, medyo matagal na natigil ang used car imports sa Subic

pansin mo puro trucks and heavy equipment nalang ang binebenta doon

sorry, i can't answer your question

hanggang dun lang po ako sa Japan used imports

di lang naman po used automobiles ang pinapasok thru Subic

meron mga trucks, earthmoving equipment, cranes, generators, etc

[uls]

ok nga lang yan. Ok lang ang mga pyesa, ok lang ang mga 3tons and above na hindi available locally.

Ang masama yung mga smuggled in na buo na sa Subic.

i was only responding to the article posted above

Ikaw anti-truth.

You can't handle the truth...

Me, anti-consumer? Definitely not.Read my posts. Naguguluhan ka lang.

Go ask yourself...total ban, or partial ban...you've been zigzagging all the way. Para hindi ka naman nagmumukang one-sided...or worse, manloloko. Yun lang ang tingin ko, wag ka sana mapikon.

Sana consistent din sa truth ang akusasyon mo sa akin kasi unang una, mali at walang katotohanan yan. Basahin mo posts ko para mahimasmasan ka.

You can't handle the truth. You can't even handle the stuff that you argue with.

And to correct your haphazard baseless and badly made accusations about me I said ideally, I hope for a total ban, But reality tells me, it will not happen considering the existing jurisprudence.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

Anyone has a choice. But you have to pay for the choice you make.

Better my choice than the choice of cronies.

If I were you, try to back read jpdm post in this thread. And understand his stand with this issues. It's wrong making an accusation like that.

I've been here since page 16(?). Kaya alam ko na ang mga pasikot-sikot dito. Kita mo, ikaw ang mag backread kasi hindi mo nakita post ko.

And don't accuse people of making false accusations.

Cool man! You're getting very emotional. I know your stand with this issues. Ask yourself if you can handle the truth. You can play and pretend that you know what's happening. That's fine with me. No big drama.

[jpdm]

Pacensya na but I have to say this to you.

You can't handle the truth...

I can handle the truth.

But I cant handle false witness and anti-truth.

Go ask yourself...total ban, or partial ban...you've been zigzagging all the way. Para hindi ka naman nagmumukang one-sided...or worse, manloloko. Yun lang ang tingin ko, wag ka sana mapikon.
You can't handle the truth. You can't even handle the stuff that you argue with.

No, You go and ask yourself. Why not read my posts first and understand them before zigzagging and accusing me of something that Im not.You made your own conclusions about my posts without verifying them from me and then you haphazardly made a very false accusation?

Anung tawag dun? False witness.Anti-truth.

Wag ka rin magagalit at mapikon pre pero ikaw one sided dito at ikaw ang nagmumukhang manloloko kasi wala kang patunay sa akusasyon mo.

Basahin mo posts ko para makita mong mali ka.

Cant even handle the stuff that I argue with? See, how one sided and how bad your faulty reasoning is.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

This statement is a failure.

Better my choice than the choice of cronies.

Cronies?

Only shows the faulty way you come up with your haphazard conclusions without verification.

I've been here since page 16(?). Kaya alam ko na ang mga pasikot-sikot dito. Kita mo, ikaw ang mag backread kasi hindi mo nakita post ko.

And don't accuse people of making false accusations.

Since Page 16 and you just did.Problema sa iyo, hindi mo binasang mabuti mga posts ko.



Just my 2 cents.

Auto Carpets rises from the ashes

BY IRMA ISIP
Malaya Business Insights
June 21, 2010


When Philippine Carpet Manufacturing Corp, (PCMC) then the largest auto carpet maker, decided in 2007 to give up and close its automotive division after more than 40 years in existence, then division head Rafael Villarreal pounced on the opportunity to start a business.


Villarreal sought the partnership of businessman Eddie Jose, now chairman of the Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP), and formed a new company Auto Carpets Inc.


Auto Carpets was folded into Jose’s VSO Group, which is also in the automotive business. Jose is chairman of Auto Carpets, owning 70 percent, and Villarreal is president with 30 percent.


Today, Auto Carpets serves 90 percent of the requirements of the local automotive assembly industry. It succeeds where its predecessor gave up due to lower volume than that of more cost-efficient markets like Thailand and China.



Auto Carpets provides floor carpets for Toyota (Innova and Vios); Honda (City); Isuzu (Crosswind); Ford (Mazda and Focus); Universal Motors Corp. (Nissan Urvan), and; Nissan Motor Philippines Inc. (Sentra).



"All the customers went with me. We had a smooth transition (from PCMC) by transferring the technology, skilled employees and equipment. We needed their cooperation." Villarreal said.


Villarreal considers being able to take over the business from PCMC as the latter’s gift for his 35 years of service in the company.


In its start-up year, Auto Carpets got help from Toyota’s production system to make work easier and to cut down costs. Becoming more efficient and increasing productivity were key factors cited by Villarreal in making the venture a success.


The company absorbed a select group of the 90 employees affected by the closure of the division. By August 2007, Auto Carpets was rolling and has not stopped since.


To some extent, it has also been exporting its products.


"We have been expanding since we started operations last August 2007. We do not export directly, but some of our carpets are included in the exports of locally manufactured vehicles," Villarreal said.


For Auto Carpets business to flourish, it needs a vibrant automotive assembly industry.


"The growth of our business wholly depends on the growth of our customers, the local vehicle assemblers," he said.



The domestic auto manufacturing industry is operating at just a quarter of installed capacity – 60,000 out of 250,000 units.


As of 2009, sales of locally manufactured vehicles declined to 63,813 units or 49 percent of total car sales from 145,888 units or 90 percent in 1996.


At this rate, down the line businesses like Villarreal’s auto carpet manufacturing may survive but opportunity to grow becomes very limited.


Auto floor carpets form part of the inner soft trims and are fitted into a car’s flooring in one piece. They go to the assembly line as they are molded according to the shape of the vehicle’s flooring.


Auto Carpets offers a wide variety of car carpets, from mat assembly floors, mat luggage trunks to side trim trunks.



The company also produces needle-punch carpet rolls for trim makers Toyota Boshoku, B4 Auto Seat Covers, and Emerald Multi Products.
The auto carpets it produces are made to the specific types and colors of its clients.


"Floor carpets are a necessity for aesthetic. They may not look that way but they are key element in a vehicle," Villarreal said.


According to Villarreal, alternatives to flooring like vinyl normally seen in commuter vehicles are not appropriate for cars, vans and sport utility vehicles.


"Our molded carpets fitted on the vehicle floor differ from the secondary carpet mats sold in retail stores. We do not supply this," he said.
Auto Carpets‘ products are made from polyester fibers imported from Taiwan. The polyethylene pellets melted at the back of the carpets also come from Taiwan and at times from Korea.


Its carpets stand the test of time.


"We do not have after sales market since the floor carpets are never replaced even in the aftermath of (typhoon) Ondoy," Villarreal said.
Auto Carpets produces about 4,500 carpets a month at its 2,500 square meter facility in Paranaque. It has 70 workers trained in car carpet molding and needle-punch technology.
