To kick-start the brand new year of 2017, Stamford Tyres Malaysia gave their Falken dealers a 5 Days 4 Nights incentive trip to Tokyo, Japan. The highlight of course is having the chance to visit 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS), and to savor the sights and marvelous sounds that made Tokyo Auto Salon hugely popular all over the world. The incentive trip consisted of STM staffs and Falken dealers totaling to 101 participants.

For the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon, Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. had set up its FALKEN Booth, with “GROOOOVE – Have your tires got personality?-” as display theme.
