Alghanim Industries, one of the largest, privately owned companies in the Gulf region, has furthered its expansion plans today by opening a brand new Honda showroom as well as another new showroom that is exclusively for Honda motorcycles and power products. The inauguration of the new showroom took place from 6 - 8 PM on October 19, 2015, marking the fruitful partnership between Alghanim Industries and Honda.

The highly-anticipated evening was attended by Honda Motors Company's management including Mr. Yusuke Hori, the Operating Officer / Head of Regional Unit - Africa & Middle East of Honda Motor Company and Shunichi Uchida, Director of Honda Motor Company - Africa & Middle East, VIP clients as well as Omar Kutayba Alghanim, CEO of Alghanim Industries who commented on the unveiling of the new Honda showroom, saying, "Since its founding in 1946, Honda has become an iconic brand that continues to push the envelope on engineering and creativity; it also sets the performance bar high for automakers worldwide. Honda is also the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles - a title it has held since 1959. Alghanim Industries is incredibly proud to align with such an admired and beloved brand: our partnership began in 2013, and we are deeply honored to serve as Honda's exclusive dealer in Kuwait.

Alghanim continued, "We have been investing in the global auto business for decades; it's one of the oldest and most successful parts of our business portfolio, in fact. And we intend on continuing to actively grow our auto presence across the GCC by partnering with world-class organizations like Honda. We are excited at what the future holds and will continue to deliver on our promise of placing our customers at the center of our businesses."

Located at Alghanim Industries' Safat Facility which occupies an area of nearly 9,000 square meters, the new Honda showroom embodies Alghanim Industries' steadfast commitment and true portrayal of the Honda brand, starting from the showroom's design and layout to the customer-centric services that are at the core of the brand's success. The showroom is proudly considered the largest in the MENA region, boasting three distinctive floors and a service center.

The Operating Officer / Head of Regional Unit - Africa & Middle East of Honda Motor Company, Yusuke Hori, commented on Alghanim Industries during the grand opening saying: "It is a leading company of automobile industries in Kuwait, and I am very pleased to be with the best partner for this auspicious occasion today. We ranked Kuwait as priority market as high as Saudi Arabia and UAE in the Middle East region. Since 1968, we have been trying to enhance our presence in this market."

Hori continued by saying, "In 2013, Honda started partnership with one of the best companies in Customer Satisfaction, and we appreciate their efforts which help us enhance our presence in Kuwait, and now, many customers enjoy our products. To further enhance customers' experience, our partner built new showroom at the best location. This showroom has the cutting-edge Sales, After Sales, and parts function. In addition, Alghanim built the best ever Motorcycle facility. Now, we can give you the best experience of all product-line, Motorcycle, Automobile, and Power Products. Honda's fundamental belief is 'The Three Joys' - The Joy of Buying, The Joy of Selling, and the Joy of Creating. I am very sure that our best partner, Alghanim can realize these Three Joys through providing the best service with the latest facility."

Before the attendees were taken on a tour of the new showroom, they were entertained by professional London-based acrobats and stunt performers who wowed them with breathtaking routines. Following the performances, the attendees walked through the spacious two-floor showroom, admiringly observing the modern, Louvre-esque facade, luxurious high ceilings, large waiting areas as well as a children play area thatis naturally lit by three skylights, bringing the warmth of the sun all the way down to the showroom's ground garage at the lower level.

The showroom is the first in the region to incorporate a new wall fabric technology that features moving images, an element that reflects Alghanim Industries' keenness to highlight Honda's commitment to newness and innovation. Alluding to the corporation's transparency, the new Honda showroom features glass flooring at the showroom level that displays the service garage at the lower level, as well as a spacious, clean and brightly lit area that is equipped with a service lounge that provides customers a chance to observe their vehicles' maintenance process. Customers can also take in the panoramic view overlooking the showroom and service garage from the glass, state-of-the-art elevator.

Honda offers varied products that are catered to different audiences. To better serve individuals who are more interested in Honda's motorcycles and power products, Alghanim Industries built a brand new showroom that is solely designated for Honda motorcycles and power products. The new showroom displays the same modern, contemporary exterior design as well as an uplifting interior that mirrors the youthful spirit of the showroom's main customers. Adding to the futuristic edge is a spaceship-like area designed for selling motorcycle gears and accessories in addition to a modern lounge area where customers can relax and enjoy complimentary services and renowned hospitality.
