Commenting on the move, Dato’ Abdul Harith Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of PROTON said that the dealership expansion programme is part of the Group’s main direction in growing its business network to be in line with the growth plans.
“Through our growth plans, our dealership network needs to be rationalised to maintain a healthy and profitable dealer network for PROTON. With the rationalisation programmes, our current network of 413 outlets, comprising a mix of Sales, Service and Parts Centres would be able to create a healthy network focusing on key primary market areas.
“Moving forward, we are now remodelling the infrastructure of our network towards the next five (5) years
through our newly introduced dealership expansion programme,” he added. Dato’ Harith added further that the rationalisation is necessary in order to address various issues in the company’s present distribution network, namely, low productivity, inefficiency of its operational processes and disparity in its service level to its customers.
“Besides allowing new investors into the network, the exercise is further aimed at addressing inconsistencies of the parties’ corporate image, duplication of resources, marketing activities between outlets and variations in operational processes. The rationalisation is to make the business more profitable and competitive for its dealerships, besides providing customers with excellent ownership experience,” he said and adding that the expansion of its dealership network would be implemented in stages for business optimisation.
