This year has been a good one for DaimlerChrysler Malaysia. It has introduced various new models such as the Mercedes-Benz SLK and the new-generation C-class which have been very well received.
President and CEO Frank Steinleitner sees a lot of factors coming into play in terms of his expectations for 2005. With the new duty structure in place, locally assembled cars in the premium segment would be affected the most.
Some strategic evaluations and discussions on further investments are in the pipeline to ensure that DaimlerChrysler is on track with its plans for Malaysia, says Steinleitner.
The shopping scene at Suria KLCC continues to be vibrant and full of new shopping experiences. General manager Andrew Brien is planning a series of changes at Suria KLCC which will see the opening of 130 refurbished stores by the first quarter of next year.
A firm believer in offering the “feel good” shopping experience, Brien insists that it must also be different every time. Today’s shopping experience has been redefined, he says, noting the different trends emerging among department stores and retail centres.
