The assembly plant of Demark Motor Philippines Inc. inside the Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone & Freeport Authority.

DEMAK MOTOR MANUFACTURING PHILIPPINES INC., a motorcycle assembler company at the Zamboanga Freeport and Economic Zone Authority in San Ramon, this city, has significantly expanded its marketing sites and contacts in less than two years.

DEMAK motorcycles, manufactured in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia and assembled in Zamboanga City, reportedly topped among other brands of motorcycles distributed and sold by Emcor Marketing.

Lin Bin, general manager of Demak assembly plant at the Zamboanga Freeport, said Demak motorcycles are now being distributed by 177 Emcor outlets throughout Mindanao and Visayas.

“As of July Demak motorcycles rank highest number of units sold by Emcor,” Bin said.

The first motorcycle assembly plant in Mindanao was established at the Zamboanga Freeport in December 2005.

Bin said Demak is sending out around 400 units of motorcycles a month to the different outlets in Visayas and Mindanao.

Demak came to Zamboanga City after the Sandakan Business Expo of BIMP-EAGA (Bruneir-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asian Growth Area) in May 2003 where Zamboanga Freeport chairman Georgina Yu and her marketing chief Ma. Socorro Cipriano attended and subsequently invited Demak to Ecozone.

Demak’s product line includes Trendy Scooters (125ccTwister and 150cc Fighter), Multi-Purpose Tricycles, Sporty Mopeds (Matrix and Evo). (MENTORING CLUB)
