The shop houses the country’s largest stamping machine which weighs in at 2,000 tons, which will increase the brand’s capability to produce the Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 to 35,000 units in two shifts. Currently, MMPC has already experienced a 35% increase of local production of its subcompact lineup.

The opening of our new Stamping shop is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of Mitsubishi Motors’ operations here in Philippines. This Stamping shop enables us to turn the aspiration of localized production into a reality, further building our presence in the Philippines, at the same time as strengthening our offering to consumers.
