    Stallion NMN wins Nissan Global Merit Award

    Stallion NMN, Nissan’s exclusive manufacturer and product distributor in Nigeria, has received Nissan Motor Company’s highest honours – the Nissan Global National Sales Company Award, which was presented to the company at a banquet in Lagos by the representatives of the Japanese automaker last week.

    The award was in recognition of exceptional performance in sales and market share achievement by Stallion NMN. The auto firm has consistently grown Nissan market share year-on-year, culminating in a significant leap from four to 10 per cent in the 2014 Financial Year.

    Managing Director and President, Nissan South Africa Region, Mike Whitfield, applauded Stallion NMN for consistently elevating Nissan market share in Nigeria.

    Whitfield described Nigeria as a key market for Nissan with ambitious potentials for growth despite the current slump in global oil price and dwindling economic trend.

    “We have worked side by side with the Stallion Group to achieve what is a very encouraging increase in our share of the key Nigerian market… and we are delighted that all results showed Nissan as making progress,” he said.

    He noted that Nissan has strong desire to make full and lasting contribution to play a significant role in the growth of the automotive sector.

    Nissan, Whitfield said, is growing with Africa and believed that the continent is well-positioned in the sub-Saharan region for long-term growth to consistently meet customers’ needs through an expanding model range; retail network and an evolving industrial footprint in Nigeria.

    Responding, Chairman, West African Conglomerate Stallion Group Sunil Vaswani, said: “It is our intention to progressively build Nissan’s market share in the coming years and transform the Nissan brand into one of Nigeria’s foremost. We value our partnership with Nissan and aim to deliver world-class products and expertise.”

    He said Stallion is investing in developing an integrated value chain for its products in the country, thereby acting as catalyst for Nigeria’s automotive ecosystem.

    “Together with Nissan, we will compliment Nigeria’s ambition to become the region’s automotive hub and provide a comprehensive range of passenger and commercial vehicles to meet the growing demand for new vehicles in Nigeria,” Vaswani said.
