Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has officially introduced Tetsuya Fujita as the new president of IPC, replacing Noboru Murakami.
Working for Isuzu Motors Limited (IML) since 1991, Fujita has extensive experience in sales and operations. Some of his international experience includes being the Corporate Planning Manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America (ICTA) in California, USA from 2005 to 2010, General Manager for Sales Department of Isuzu Motors International Operations Thailand (IMIT) in Bangkok, Thailand from 2014 – 2017, and before getting assigned to Isuzu Philippines, he was the Chairman & CEO of Isuzu Motors de Mexico from 2020 – 2021.
With his broad involvement in international sales and operations, Fujita has taken the challenge of maintaining IPC’s long reign as the number one truck brand in the country. He intends to achieve this by continuing to expand IPC’s dealer network, as well as maintaining its strong relationship with customers by providing significant contributions to their business. Fujita also promised to keep steering the company towards a more sustainable and greener path by further cultivating the Road to Progress vision that Murakami kicked off during his term.
“As the leading truck brand in the industry, we will continue innovating new products that will assist in the progress of the country while displaying more responsibility to the society and the environment through our Road to Progress vision,” said Fujita.
After serving IPC for less than a year, Murakami joins the illustrious list of successful past IPC presidents that include Hajime Koso, Nobuo Izumina, and Ryoji Yamazaki. Murakami has been reassigned to Isuzu North America Corporation (INAC) and has assumed the position of President and CEO. He is currently based in Irvine, California.
Welcome to the Philippines, Fujita-san, and you are always welcome in the Philippines, Noboru-san!
