Grand Opening: Plaza Subaru Batam
Aug 08, 2022
Batam, 8 August 2022 – Today, Subaru Corporation Japan and PT Plaza Auto Mega inaugurated Plaza Subaru Batam, the latest Subaru’s 3S (Sales, Service and Spare parts) dealership located on Jl. Yos Sudarso blok A No.1, Sungai Panas, Batam City. On the same occasion, Subaru Indonesia also introduced a medium SUV, a global key product, the all-new Subaru Forester for Kepulauan Riau greater area. Plaza Subaru Batam was inaugurated by Subaru Corporation Japan represented by Subaru Koizumi, Overseas Sales & Marketing Division, Subaru Corporation Japan, the core management of Subaru Indonesia represented by Paula Dewiyanti, President Director of Subaru Indonesia, and Arie Christopher, Chief Operating Officer of Subaru Indonesia, as well witnessed by Harlas Buana, Director of Batam Free Trade Zone and Free Port Concession Agency (BP Batam).
Arie Christopher, Chief Operating Officer, Subaru Indonesia said,
“From the research and surveys we have conducted over the last 2 years, Batam
city has become very special from its very high economic growth of up to 4.75
percent, higher than the national economic growth of 3,69%1 (YoY) in 2021.
Batam City is also the largest city in the Riau Islands Province and part of
the Batam-Bintan-Karimun free trade zone. On the other hand, Batam City has a
large and varied population of Subaru vehicles, with the second-highest
population of vehicles after Jabodetabek. Therefore, it is a logical step for
us to make an initial investment of Rp. 15 billion through the opening of the
3S Plaza Subaru Batam dealership facility. Occupying an area of 1800m2, Plaza Subaru Batam has a Showroom area with 3 display
vehicles, and a workshop area with 4 working bays, as well as 2 service
receptions to serve Subarists in Batam, according to the #SubaruidCARE
campaign, because our concern for customers is number 1”.
Batam is an industrial city with a very strategic location and
very rapid growth. With a population that has grown by 158 times since the
1970s, Batam City is now home to 1,193,0882 people. Located on international
shipping lanes, Batam City has a very close distance and is directly adjacent
to Singapore and Malaysia. Plaza Subaru Batam is strategically located in the
center of Batam City and is located on the Yos Sudarso-Sudirman protocol road
which connects the city center with Hang Nadim International Airport and Batu
Ampar Harbor, as well as the Batam Harbor Bay Area which is the entrance and
exit for foreign tourists, especially from Singapore to Batam. The existence of
3S facilities in this strategic location will certainly make it easier for
Subaru customers to enjoy the latest products with the latest Subaru Core
Technology, and the #SubaruidCARE service, or the value of caring for
customers, typical of this Japanese brand.
The growth of Batam City is also inseparable from the change in
the leadership of BP Batam, led by the Mayor of Batam, which makes regional
growth programs integrated and creates a conducive investment climate. "Of
course, the greatest appreciation aims toward Batam Free Trade Area and Free
Port Concession Agency (BP Batam) which provides investment convenience, that
proves the real slogan of Batam as an Industrial City and an
Investment-friendly City," Arie added in his speech.
On the same occasion, Subaru Koizumi, Overseas Sales &
Marketing Division, Subaru Corporation Japan also expressed his joy,
"Today Subaru can see the commitment of PT Plaza Auto Mega as Subaru's
brand holder in Indonesia through investments and developments made since the
opening of the 3S facility in Alam Sutera on May 18, 2022. With a large
population of Subaru vehicles and Batam's position as a free trade zone, I have
confidence that Plaza Subaru Batam will greatly develop in the future. With the
facilities inaugurated today, of course, we believe we can deliver
"Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" and care more about the loyal Subaru
users who have believed in this brand for years".
At the grand opening ceremony of Plaza Subaru Batam, Subaru
Indonesia also introduced The all-new Subaru Forester. All the all-new Subaru
Foresters marketed through PT Plaza Auto Mega, are offered with a 3-year /
100,000 km warranty, 3 years / 50,000 km free service (depending on which one
is reached first), as well as a 3-year Subaru Roadside Assistance, assistance
service 24/7 emergency. There are 8 (eight) exterior color choices; Horizon
