The company (GMIC) was officially incorporated with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on November 11, 1997 with SEC Registration Number A1997-21481.

Business operation started in the first quarter of 1998. The first store was opened in Imus, Cavite complete with in- house consumer financing and full motorcycle service shop. The company was then dealing with existing motorcycle brands including Yamaha.

In 1999, we started our own brand of motorcycles assembled from parts that are mainly imported from China. The products carry the GRANSTAR and LONCIN marks. We have seen that we can improve the quality and performance of the bikes if we assemble them in Manila where critical parts made for Japanese factories are in ample supply.
