Tan Chong Motor (Lao) Sole Co., Ltd (“TCML”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (Malaysia), is the Sole and Exclusive Distributor of Nissan vehicles in Laos PDR. With more than 7-years of motor vehicles Sales and Aftersales experience in Laos, TCML now has three branches, namely in Vientiane, Savannakhet and Pakse.

Tan Chong Group humbly began its automotive business in 1957 with the appointment as the sole distributor of Nissan/Datsun in Malaysia. Years later, it has grown into one of the largest national conglomerates involved in a myriad of business activities; from the assembly and distribution of motor vehicles and auto parts manufacturing to property development and IT as well as trading in various heavy machineries, industrial equipment and consumer products in Malaysia as well as in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.

Having served Malaysian consumers for over three decades, Tan Chong Group has since spread its wings globally. Beginning in 2005, the Group had made significant inroads into the overseas market by expanding its automotive business operations overseas with the importation, distribution and assembly of motor vehicles in Vietnam, and the provision of automotive workshop services in Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar.

In March 2010, Tan Chong Group entered into Distribution Agreements with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Japan) that granted The Group the sole and exclusive rights to distribute completely built-up (CBU) Nissan brand vehicles for the Cambodia and Laos markets.
