Andrew:MAN Malaysia is a Transformation Project
Andrew O‘ Brooks has been the Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus (M) Sdn Bhd since 2020. Prior to joining MAN, Andrew held several leading managerial positions for the Volvo Group, serving as Country Managing Director in the United Kingdom, Latvia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Original from Britain, Andrew brings more than 35 years of experience in the commercial vehicle industry to this role. In this issue of Truck & Bus News, he shared with us the major challenges he has faced and the adjustments he has made since taking over. Also revealed are his business strategies for the Malaysian market, the company’s future direction and what the outlook for the market looks like.
Andrew started off by telling us that he joined MAN for a number of reasons, the most compelling of which were the new opportunities that the company offered and a new innovative product that was almost untouched from a retail perspective.
“MAN as a group is undergoing transformation in almost every aspect of its operations. How could one resist being part of this change with so many dynamics in play and the challenge of making a great company even more spectacular? Malaysia might be a small market today, but the future for truck sales and service are bright with numerous opportunities. Manufacturers like MAN still have many things to learn about the Malaysian road transport industry. This market is an exciting one for our industry where the accompanying challenges will only make us stronger as we learn to navigate past them.”
