Salvador Caetano South Africa, the official importer and distributor of JMC, has expanded its retail footprint in Gauteng with the grand opening of the new JMC Clearwater dealership. The milestone event was amplified by a high-profile visit from the Global Chairman of JMC, highlighting South Africa’s vital role in the brand’s global growth strategy.
The exclusive evening launch brought together automotive media partners, dealer partners, key industry stakeholders, and top JMC leadership to celebrate this major step forward in the brand’s local expansion.
On 4 June 2026, Salvador Caetano had the privilege of hosting the Chairman of JMC during his visit to South Africa. The Chairman’s visit directly coincided with the official ribbon-cutting at JMC Clearwater, sending a clear message regarding the brand’s confidence in the South African automotive sector. The visit underscored an ongoing commitment to investing heavily in its local dealer network, nurturing media relationships, and securing long-term economic growth in the region.
The opening of JMC Clearwater represents a strategic partnership with CFAO Mobility South Africa, one of the country’s most respected and expansive multi-brand dealer groups.
