With this customer-focused approach, the store remains a reliable partner for Filipino households—past, present, and future.

The Market! Market! mini launch served as an intimate preview, with Haier and Automatic Centre extending the experience through an in-store exhibit running from October to December 2025, giving mall-goers the opportunity to explore the new models firsthand.

Together, Haier and Automatic Centre continue their shared mission of bringing smarter, cleaner, and longer-lasting cooling solutions to Filipino homes, backed by a tradition of trust and innovation.
