Suzuki confirms permanent closure of old assembly plant in Pasig
Words by Christopher Kho



Back in November 2012, Suzuki Philippines Inc. (SPH) moved its entire motorcycle assembly operations from its old plant in Pasig City to a new state-of-the-art P1 billion facility in Canlubang, Laguna. They hope to double their production capacity to over 16,000 units a month and keep up with rising demands. Though 300 employees had to be moved down south, we remember SPH telling us that the Sales and Marketing Department for both motorcycle and automobile divisions will remain to hold office in Pasig. They also had plans of using it as a Suzuki technical training center in the near future. Unfortunately, they're now telling us that this won't be so.

SPH announced in an official statement: “Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) Chariman Osamu Suzuki has visited both facilities, and after careful evaluation of the company's total operation, he decided that it would be more beneficial for the company that all departments are housed in the Canlubang head office.”
