Toshimitsu Tanaka has been appointed as the new MD of Subaru Southern Africa, effective August 1.

Tanaka succeeds Andrew Marshall, who retired after five years of leadership.

Tanaka brings with him more than 30 years of experience in the global automotive sector.

His international career spans key leadership roles across Africa, North America and Asia, including his most recent position as deputy MD of Subaru Southern Africa for the past two years.

Before joining Subaru, Tanaka held senior positions within Toyota Tsusho Group, including assistant GM for Toyota Tsusho Africa, group manager at Toyota Tsusho Corporation, and vice division-head at Toyota Tsusho America.

He also played a pivotal role in establishing Toyota Tsusho Africa’s facilities in Durban as project leader.

“It’s a great honour to take the helm at Subaru Southern Africa,” says Tanaka.

“This is a brand that represents confidence, adventure and loyalty — not only in the products we build, but in the people we serve.

“My focus will be on growing our presence and further elevating the customer experience across the region.

“I look forward to working closely with our dealer network, our partners, and — most importantly — our customers, to take Subaru to even greater heights.”
