KARIYA, Japan Toyota Tsusho Corp., Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd., and DENSO Corp. have announced they will jointly open a wholly-owned store in Cambodia that will offer automotive repair and maintenance services, as well as sell related automotive components. The store will begin operations in February 2014 with the brand name “PIT & GO,” and the company name will be PIT&GO Automotive Service (Cambodia) Co. Ltd.
The three companies say they have formed the business to meet market demand for repair, maintenance and other after-sales services for new and used vehicles, as the motor vehicle demand in emerging markets like Asia and Africa rapidly increases. To expand its regional service network, PIT&GO will identify qualified stores and designate them as PIT&GO certified, as well as help them improve their repair skills and store management.
The business is located in Penh, Cambodia, and will be led by President Hidemi Nakagawa from DENSO, which owns 51 percent of the business.
