CHUMPHON, Thailand, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 16, the grand opening of Linglong's first overseas training center in the Asia-Pacific region, jointly established with SANGUAN YANGYONT CHUMPHON CO., LTD (hereinafter referred to as SYY), was held in Thailand. This milestone signifies an upgraded service system for Linglong in the Asia-Pacific region, with significant implications for improving service standards, enhancing distributor capabilities, and delivering more professional and premium brand experiences to consumers.

The opening ceremony was filled with enthusiasm, as representatives from all parties extended warm congratulations and expressed high expectations for the training center's launch.

The service area simulates real-world scenarios, offering services such as tire disassembly/installation, wheel alignment, and wheel balancing, along with sales and maintenance of automotive parts including batteries, brake pads, engine oil, shock absorbers, and rims.

Additionally, the service area includes a spacious customer lounge and café, providing a comfortable waiting environment with beverage services. This thoughtful design not only enhances customer experience but also underscores Linglong's commitment to exceptional service quality.

In his speech, Linglong Tire Vice President Xu Yongchao stated: "This training center, jointly developed with SYY, is a crucial component of Linglong's strategic expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. We aim to establish service standards and safety protocols for service providers and distributors through this platform, thereby elevating their service capabilities and market competitiveness. Furthermore, we look forward to introducing Linglong's premium brand and innovative tire products to more consumers through this center."

We are delighted to collaborate with Linglong in establishing this premium training center. We are confident that this platform will empower our distributors to serve consumers with greater professionalism and efficiency, jointly driving Linglong's sustained growth in the Thai market."

The inauguration of Linglong's first overseas training center in the Asia-Pacific region further enriches its global strategy of globalization, regionalization, and localization for international sales. It not only enhances Linglong's capabilities in local sales, network development, service quality, and brand perception among users in Thailand but also establishes a benchmark for replicating and expanding best practices to other markets.

Moving forward, Linglong will uphold its customer-centric philosophy to refine its service systems across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and beyond, establishing additional training centers. These efforts will provide channel partners and end-users with comprehensive tire and non-tire products and services, fostering closer collaboration and creating mutual value!

Linglong Tire Launches First Asia-Pacific Training Center in Thailand

BALI, Indonesia, April 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than 16 years of welcoming guests to the lush highlands of Ciumbuleuit, Padma Hotel Bandung has officially entered a period of temporary closure as part of a bold and forward-looking transformation. Padma Hotels, the parent brand behind this beloved property, shared their thoughts with us on what this next chapter truly means for the hotel, for the guests, and for hospitality in Indonesia.

"This is not merely a renovation, it is a reinvention," shared Nandang Suryana, Corporate Director of Operations at Padma Hotels. "Padma Hotel Bandung has long been more than a destination. It is a place where stories unfold—morning walks in the mist, family reunions by the pool, the kind of everyday moments that stay with you. Our aim is to preserve the soul of the hotel while evolving every touchpoint to meet the desires of tomorrow's travelers."

The transformation will encompass a comprehensive expansion of guest rooms and suites, the introduction of fresh culinary experiences, enhanced wellness and recreational offerings, and architectural refinements that reflect both contemporary design and a deep reverence for the natural surroundings. A core focus of the project will also be sustainability—ensuring that the beauty of Ciumbuleuit remains untouched and celebrated.

"This evolution is part of our broader commitment across Padma Hotels to deliver thoughtful luxury rooted in place, culture, and care," Nandang continued. "As one of our flagship properties, Padma Hotel Bandung will emerge not just with a new look, but with renewed purpose."

When asked about guest sentiment, Padma Hotels acknowledged the deep emotional ties many have with the Bandung property. "We know how much this hotel means to our guests. That is exactly why this transformation is so important. We're not stepping away, we're stepping up."

During the closure period, guests are encouraged to explore other Padma Hotels destinations across Indonesia. From the breezy beachfront lifestyle at Padma Resort Legian and the spiritual calm of Padma Resort Ubud, to the urban elegance of Padma Hotel Semarang and the industrial oasis of Resinda Hotel Karawang, the signature Padma experience remains accessible across diverse landscapes.

As for what awaits upon reopening? Padma Hotels promises more than new features. "We are creating a space that feels both familiar and surprising. A place where returning guests will feel seen, new guests will feel our signature hospitality, and the whole sensation of being home far away from home," Nandang concluded.
