"We can see Geely takes into account every single detail. From planning to execution, careful thoughts are being put in place to ensure a smooth process. Everything is done in a controlled manner and the processes are in order, from testing to final product. I also observed that they follow stringent rules, and regulations that are adhered to,” said Munauwir Mohd Khir, from Edaran Saga Sdn Bhd.
Munauwir added, “It takes a good car manufacturer to have a big vision – Not only developing cars with advanced technologies but more importantly, cars which are environmentally friendly as well, like electric and hybrid cars”.
As for Mohd Nazrin Mohamad Fozi, of Rahman Brothers Automotive Sdn Bhd, the visit to the GRI more than lived up to his expectations.
Proton dealers at the Geely Research Institute.
"It showcased Geely’s technological capabilities and the future of automobiles. I can imagine if these technologies, like advanced safety and other state of the art features are incorporated into Proton cars, we will definitely be at the leading edge in Malaysia, and beyond. The future is really exciting, looking at the partnership with Geely,” said Mohd Nazrin.
Meanwhile, Hazree Hashim of Vitalic Sdn Bhd opined, “When I walk through the areas in GRI, I could feel a sense of calm all around. Line workers do their work diligently, and they look serious about the work at hand. We can see there is a sense of pride in the effort they put in to. It is a no-nonsense environment. They are so focused on their work to ensure quality delivery of output”.
“On top of that, the floors were so polished I could not even see a single speck of dust or dirt. This is an example of a world-class facility at its best,” said Hazree.
Hazree went on to say, “After this visit, I believe I see more clearly now the developments that are on-going in Geely and how Proton could eventually benefit in the long term. From the working culture to the plant, there is a proper system and flow, to doing things. Production is in control and everything looks orderly.”
