GAC Motor Philippines, led by Astara Philippines, continues to build on its success, earning two major global awards at the recent 2025 GAC International Partner Conference. The brand received back-to-back Gold Awards for Outstanding Distributor of the Year 2024 and Outstanding Sales Department of 2024, recognizing its exceptional growth, strong sales performance, and commitment to customer service.
GAC Motor International has expanded its presence across 72 countries and regions worldwide, achieving a 97% increase in global retail performance, with the Asian market driving significant growth. The Philippines stood out as a key market, recording 3,207 unit sales in 2024, marking a 65% year-on-year growth. This strong performance reflects the increasing demand for GAC Motor’s vehicles in the country.
At the 2025 GAC International Partner Conference, GAC Motor Philippines was recognized for its dealership network expansion, which grew from six dealerships in 2022 to 20 in 2023, and 32 in 2024, marking the fastest dealership growth within the global GAC network.
“These global recognitions reflect the strong performance and growing presence of GAC Motor Philippines,” said Luis Torres, Country Manager of Astara Philippines. “Our success is driven by the dedication of our team, dealer partners, and customers who continue to support the brand. With the strengthened support of GAC Motor International, we will continue to deliver high-quality vehicles, enhance customer satisfaction, and strengthen our position in the industry.”
As part of its continuous improvement initiatives, GAC Motor International is rolling out the GAC Sales and Service Way (GSSW) training program to enhance operational capabilities across its markets. This initiative is designed to refine sales and service processes, further improving the overall customer experience.
With these achievements, Astara-led GAC Motor Philippines is poised for even greater success. The strengthened partnership with GAC Motor International promises better product offerings, improved pricing, and an elevated ownership experience for customers in the Philippines.
