Abdul Latif Jameel Motors in China celebrated its twentieth anniversary of operations in the country at a special ceremony held in Chengdu on November 23, 2018.  Since establishing a presence in 1998, Abdul Latif Jameel Motors has expanded from a single Toyota authorized service station, to nine locations (a network of eight full-service branches and one sub-branch) for Toyota and Lexus brands, with cumulative new car sales reaching over 100,000 units at the end of 2018.

Capitalizing on the insights and experience gained through more than 60 years of operations in the automotive sector across several countries, Abdul Latif Jameel Motors has developed a proposition with a strong ‘Guest First’ philosophy and implemented this into the Chinese market to meet growing consumer expectations.

This has led to the company acquiring several high-profile industry awards, which were recognized as part of the anniversary celebrations.

Abdul Latif Jameel Motors’ China operations have been awarded the prestigious Toyota Gold and Silver awards – the highest-level awards that can be presented by FAW Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. (FTMS) – based on a rigorous evaluation process of overall performance.  The Qingdao FTMS branch has also been consistently rated as one of the top dealers for customer service (amongst the 545-strong network) in China.

The Anniversary Ceremony Attended by Executive Management

The anniversary ceremony was attended by executive management from FAW Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. (FTMS), Guangzhou Toyota Motor Company (GTMC) and Lexus China.  Fady M. Jameel, Deputy President and Vice Chairman, Abdul Latif Jameel International, was also in attendance, along with other senior management members representing Abdul Latif Jameel Motors.

During the event, several long-serving employees from the China-based operations were presented with Loyalty Service Awards and recognized for their ongoing dedication and contributions.
