Kia Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, has been honored as the Regional Distributor of the Year at the prestigious 2026 Kia Global Distributors Convention held in Australia. This achievement marks a historic milestone as it is the first time the Philippines has received this distinguished recognition, highlighting the country’s rising prominence in the global automotive industry.
The award celebrates Kia Philippines’ exceptional performance across key performance indicators, including sales volume, wholesale and retail growth, market share expansion, and overall dealer network strength. It underscores the company’s dedication to excellence and its strategic efforts to drive growth and customer satisfaction.
“This award is a powerful validation of the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of our entire Kia Philippines team and our dealer partners. Competing alongside top-performing markets worldwide and emerging as the Asia-Pacific region’s top distributor demonstrates our significant progress as an organization. This achievement inspires us to continue pushing boundaries and delivering greater value to our customers,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines.
Out of five global regions—North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific—only one top distributor or subsidiary from each region was selected for this honor. Alongside Kia Philippines, the other distinguished recipients included the United States, Peru, Denmark, and Northern Iraq. This recognition not only cements Kia Philippines’ position as the leading distributor in the Asia-Pacific region but also reinforces its momentum toward sustained growth and operational excellence.
This accolade reflects Kia Philippines’ unwavering commitment to delivering innovative mobility solutions, expanding its market reach, and strengthening its reputation as a key player in the regional automotive landscape.
