Mitsubishi started its operations in the country in 1964 as the Philippines Automotive Manufacturing Corporation (PAMCOR). The name was later officially changed to Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) in 1996.

This makes MICEI one of the longest-running Mitsubishi dealerships in the country. For 50 years, MICEI has promoted the Mitsubishi Motors brand in South Cotabato with the utmost professionalism and genuine care for its customers.

MICEI said that it is further improving its long run by quickly adapting to the ever-evolving demand in the market. One of the most recent innovations MICEI is exploring is the use of solar panels as the source of power for its facility.
