Chery to re-enter Philippine car market and they're offering a huge surprise!

Chery re-enters Philippine Market

Do you remember the car brand Chery? It’s coming back and this time, their vehicles will be distributed by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. or UAAGI.

A month ago, around October 15, UAAGI had signed a distributorship agreement with Chery Automobile Co. LTD in Wuhu, China. The signatories of the said agreement consisted of Zhang Guibing, the current president of Chery International, and Rommel Sytin, the president of UAAGI. If you’re unaware, UAAGI is also the distributor of another Chinese made car brand, Foton.

Fourth time’s the charm, maybe?

As you may well know, this is the fourth time that Chery will be entering the Philippine car market as their previous endeavors with other partnerships didn’t prosper. According to Zhang Guibing, he is sure this time that UAAGI will carry its brand to success due to the aforementioned commitment to its customers and the aforementioned company’s good reputation.
