Our Story in Brief
The LausGroup is the result of a continuing evolution of a business founded by Liberato "Levy" P. Laus in July 1978. The parent company, Carworld, began as a small allied dealer or sub-dealer of several brands of automobiles. Its manpower was a total of five people, including Levy Laus.
Today, the LausGroup is made up of five Mitsubishi-Carworld dealerships, five Fords, three Hyundais, two Chevrolets, four Kias, two Haimas and one dealership each for Suzuki and BMW. Its used car dealership, Carmix- with its two dealerships in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga- is one of the pioneers in the area established in 1983. Corporate Guarantee and Insurance Company (CGIC) is steadily becoming one of the major players in the country's non-life insurance industry. CGIC belongs to the top 30 non-life insurance companies in the Philippines and has earned ISO 9001:2000 Certification in April, 2004 and was re-certified in April 23, 2007. Tire City in San Fernando, Pampanga is a dealer of Goodyear tires and Yokohama Pampanga in Dau is an authorized tire distributor. Laus Auto Finance seamlessly supports the automotive businesses financing and re-financing used cars.
With dealerships from Metro Manila to as far North as Dagupan, the LausGroup recognizes the importance and major role in business of the North Luzon area. Always looking to improve and empower the countryside, the homegrown company recognizes this area as the 'new frontier.' This means that, although expansion is not limited to North Luzon, the area comes first on the list.
The LausGroup also has acquired franchise in the food industry via five Max's Restaurants located in the following areas: Villa del Sol in San Fernando, SM Pampanga, SM Clark, Dau and Cabanatuan. LGC has one Teriyaki Boy Restaurant in SM Clark as well.
In the field of mass communications, the company has Central Luzon Television or CLTV 36, a regional free TV broadcasting over Channel 36, Radioworld Broadcasting Corp. or RW 95.1 FM, as well as a local news publication, Sunstar Pampanga. Both the television and radio stations are members of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP). RW 95 FM was adjudged Best FM Station in the country during the 16th KBP Golden Dove Awards. Sonia P. Soto, Vice President and General Manager of CLTV 36, was awarded as Best Public Affairs Host during the 17th KBP Golden Dove Awards. Under LGC Estate Resources, the company has Familyville Lubao (Pampanga) subdivision and various prime commercial lots in Central Luzon.
