This year has been another meaningful year that SsangYong Motor has recorded 50 years of its manufacturing history since 1954.

Over 100 years of world automotive history, more than 4 thousands automakers were established and disappeared with innumerable models. With this competitive environment, I am very delighted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its birth on behalf of all our SsangYong Motor family.

With great pleasure to celebrate our anniversary, SsangYong Motor made outstanding growth that recorded U$ 2.8billion of business turnover and U$ 0.2billion of operating profit at last year. This sound business performance has been generated by warmer welcome from our customers for our latest additions such as Rodius/Stavic, New Rexton, New Chairman that it ambitiously prepared.
   

SsangYong Motor always does its best to implement the highest quality in vehicles to satisfy the expectations of its customers. As great success of 2.7L common rail diesel engine that mounted on our Rexton and Rodius/Stavic has been already proven, now I can proudly say that everyone in SsangYong Motor really works hard to provide customers buying vehicles from SsangYong Motor with the best value available today.

SsangYong Motor will make continuous investment in developing new engines & products and constructing infrastructures for the expansion of sales and services. Great efforts will be also made to sharpen the competitive edge in both domestic and overseas markets.

SsangYong Motor, however, does not focus its efforts only on manufacturing and selling more vehicles. SsangYong Motor also wants to produce the better vehicles through the improvement of productivity on both management and manufacturing levels.

The whole family of SsangYong Motor Company promise to make more efforts to create the better world with the better vehicles.

Yours sincerely,
