In early March, it was announced that the business partnership between Ferrari and Naza Italia, which had been in place since 2008, was set to come to an end on April 8. Now, a month after the separation, Ferrari has formally revealed the identity of its new partner for the Malaysian market.
In a statement sent out to its customers that was sighted by this publication, the Italian automaker announced that Ital Auto Malaysia has been appointed as the new official and authorised importer for its vehicles in Malaysia, effective May 5, 2023.
“Ital Auto has been the official importer and distributor of Ferrari in Singapore since 2009, and has proven to be an effective and reliable partner by delivering exceptional customer experiences and quality services to our clients. We are confident that our customer base in Malaysia and the region will continue to be well served,” Ferrari chief marketing and commercial officer Enrico Galliera said in the statement.
The company added that Ital Auto Malaysia will be taking over Naza Italia’s existing client deposits and bookings for Ferrari vehicles. Ital Auto is part of the multi-franchise Komoco group owned by Singapore-based Malaysian billionaire Ong Beng Seng. Besides Ferrari, Komoco handles automotive brands such as Hyundai and Maserati in the republic.
In an update, Ital Auto Malaysia said that an interim service facility in Glenmarie is currently being constructed and will be ready to provide Ferrari after-sales services to clients by June 2023. This will be followed by an interim city showroom, which will be located in the retail podium of Four Seasons Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This is expected to be completed by August this year.
Ital Auto said that a brand new flagship Ferrari 3S centre featuring the brand’s exacting corporate identity standard will open its doors to Ferrari clients in Malaysia in the first quarter of 2025. It added that the entire existing operational team from Naza Italia has been transferred over to Ital Auto Malaysia in order to ensure continuity for clients as well as a smooth start to operations.

Easy come easy go. As the saying goes: Family wealth wont last past 3rd generation.
Must be laying on the Red sofa too long..
whay about chinese company companies.many of them are bangkrupt too.
Typical chinese companies too…always give corrupt money to government employees to get contract
As if like chinese people loved to give bribe..let alone give out their hard earn money I this cut world price. Chinese love Meritocracy and-Transparent deal.. Who wants sleepless night with shady deals? Right??? If people ask for donation and you have no choice but families to take care of their meals, education and housing loan, you are forced to take the job and to contribute to a lot of Derma. Bare in mind chinese don’t have scholarship not subsidy in Malaysia.. NO MARA Nor kebajikan.. All have to take care themselves.
Bribe is still a bribe no matter what your reasoning is stupid chinese
Typical malaysian chinese..so greedy and always greedy. Now pointing finger to other like their race never touch on corrupt money…you check their cemetery bigger than other races cemetery. What does it means? You can load 15-20 bodies in there. Hidup ambil hak orang, mati pun ambil hak orang..tamak
What a relief for Ferrari after being coerced to do national service for a long time.
Was told Co. in d red for a long time!
Naza makes easier money just selling AP. No need to build showroom or hire salesmen and technicians. By right, after 5 years, they should stop giving AP as already rich.
When i see naza..i think of red sofa
NAZA was established due to political cr0nism. Its collapse is all but certain.
The Ferrari division has got good people in it. Just legacy issues that messed up their game. Wasted
