General Motors New HQ In Singapore

General Motors (GM) is opening a regional headquarters in Singapore to oversee markets that include Southeast Asia (Of course malaysia) and India in the second quarter of 2014. It will be headed by Stefan Jacoby, an executive vice president at GM, with an oversight of over 120 employees, GM said in a statement. The operation will also oversee GM’s operations in South Korea, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. GM reorganized its overseas businesses in August, separating China in the process. GM has named Tim Lee as chairman of its Chinese operations and placed Jacoby in charge of over 100 countries and territories. Lee remains in Shanghai, China where the current operations are based. He oversees 12 joint ventures and more than 55,000 employees.

GM is strengthening its sales in high-growth markets in Asia and Africa, especially markets like Indonesia. GM, which has two plants in India and one in Thailand, sold 2.84 million vehicles in China in 2012, making it its biggest single market. It expects to sell 3 million vehicles this year in China. GM is investing USD11 billion by 2016 on a new site and products in China and is currently building four assembly sites to heighten its production capacity to five million vehicles annually by 2015.
