KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 26): UMW Holdings Bhd's subsidiary UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) — which is responsible for the distribution, assembly and export of Toyota vehicles — is transferring a majority of outlets it currently owns and operates to existing Toyota dealers.

In a statement filed with Bursa Malaysia, UMW said the exercise allows UMWT to increase intensity on high value-added upstream activities such as product development, marketing and dealer network support, while dealers continue to dedicate themselves towards delivering customer satisfaction.

"UMWT is extending its collaboration with dealers to enhance operational excellence. Key to this is the strengthening of retail operations from January 2018 where a majority of outlets currently owned and operated by UMWT will be transferred to existing Toyota dealers," said UMWT president Ravindran Kurusamy.

"It is essential for UMWT to continue achieving high customer satisfaction standards," he added.

According to UMWT's website, the company — which is also the exclusive distributor of Lexus models in Malaysia — has 38 branches and 68 authorised dealership outlets nationwide.
