Originally starting with “surplus” engines for cars, trucks and boats in a small lot outside Metro Manila, United Auctioneers eventually relocated to Subic and grew into selling SUVs, construction equipment and eventually heavy equipment through auctions that the company professionalized with experts from abroad.
After that, the group built an assembly plant inside an 11-hectare facility in Clark, Pampanga where they assemble 12,000 units of various Foton vehicles, ranging from mini to light trucks, from cab and chassis units to fully assembled purpose-built units, modern jeepney, 32-foot dump trucks, heavy duty tractor heads.
They have also invited and assembled a team of respected industry veterans known for their accomplishments in previous engagements with major Japanese, American, European and Korean automotive companies in the Philippines. Unlike in the past when instrumentation and on-board info-tainment were tiny, the BAIC and Chery models seemed to have laptops on the dash, which was great for people with limited vision or who want to see everything on screen and at a touch, especially from the rear seat.
Without a doubt, UAGI/United Auto Group Inc., with the team effort of experts and professionals, is well on its way to adding to their reputation of being true “brand builders” in the Philippine automotive industry.Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.
