Hino Motors Starts Production in Malaysia

Management

Apr 17, 2014

Hino Motors Manufacturing (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (HMMMY), the Malaysian manufacturing subsidiary of Hino Motors, Ltd., held a line-off ceremony to celebrate the start of production at its new plant on April 17.

Present at the simple ceremony were executives from UMW Toyota Motor Sdn. Bhd. and Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd., which had been producing Hino brand vehicles to date, as well as executives from MBM Resources Berhad (MBMR), Hino’s longtime partner in Malaysia. Also in attendance were HMMMY Managing Director Ikuo Shibano, Hino staff and Hino Motors Sales (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (HMSM) Managing Director Nobuyuki Tanaka. The new factory has adopted the latest designs for employee safety.

Malaysia is quickly growing as Hino’s third major ASEAN market, and is expected to continue growing as a major market after Indonesia and Thailand. As well as giving the company sufficient capacity to meet increasing demand, producing vehicles in this own new factory will help the company establish a supply system capable of flexibly accommodating market needs for a range of specifications and lead times. Moving forward, as Indonesia and Thailand grow to become regional core production bases, ties with both of these bases will be strengthened to optimize the production and supply structure within the region.

Through HMMMY and HMSM, Hino is committed to contributing to the automotive industry and logistics of Malaysia, as well as the progress of its local communities.
