Rising soon: Foton to put up spare parts warehouse in Cebu

Months after inaugurating a brand new spare parts depot in Davao, Foton Motor Philippines Inc (FMPI) is raising the aftersales bar once again in commercial vehicle ownership with the recent signing ceremony of its upcoming Cebu Parts Distribution Hub.

The huge parts warehouse was opened in partnership with logistics and supply chain management specialists FastEasy and Foton International. The partnership signing ceremony was attended by officers and executives from the three companies, led by Foton Motor Philippines General Manager Levy Santos, Foton International’s Parts Manager Duke Han and Gratour Sales Manager Kevin Wang, and FastEasy’s CEO Bin Du, Corporate Secretary/Director Ma. Rosario Armamento, and Warehouse Director Rexell Reyes.

“We are thrilled to embark on another highly strategic partnership with two stalwart companies in the mobility and logistics industries, FastEasy and Foton International. With our Cebu Parts Distribution Hub, Foton will be able to offer an even more efficient aftersales support to all its customers in the southern region by reducing delivery lead time of spare parts,” said Santos.

For Mike Sta. Maria, FMPI vice president for parts, the opening of the new spare parts warehouse in Cebu is part of the company's plan to expand its spare parts channel in the country.

“Following our continuous quest for customer satisfaction, Foton Motor Philippines Inc. has invested to put up a spare parts warehouse hub in Cebu City, in partnership with Foton International and FastEasy. The primary objective of this initiative is to expand FOTON’s spare parts channels in the Philippines,” shared Sta. Maria.

The opening of the new parts warehouse in Cebu will also result in shorter parts delivery lead time and lower shipping costs for Foton customers once the warehouse hub commences operation.
