HISTORY
- March 1967: Dr. Maximino D. Juan conceived MD Juan Enterprises, Inc. to answer the growing need for a rugged, light vehicle (the multi-purpose jeep) in the Philippines
- Initially, Dr. Juan imported World War II surplus jeeps from Europe and Japan
- With the steady growth of the surplus market, MD Juan Enterprises started fabricating replacement jeep body parts not available locally
- Soon, Filipino jeep enthusiasts either refurbished their old jeeps using MD Juan bodies (popularly known as the Jeepstar) or built new jeeps using MD Juan’s USM chassis, the Jeepstar body and surplus engines and power trains from Japan
- August 1969: MD Juan built its manufacturing plant in Novaliches, Caloocan City
- 1970: MD Juan ventured into the export markets of Japan, Australia/New Zealand and the U.S.A.
- Export concentration was on jeep bodies and parts identified with World War II: the MB and the Korean War: the M38.
- Soon after, the civilian jeep models like the CJ series were being produced in the production line
- 1980: MD Juan exhibited its products in various foreign expositions like the Lausanne Trade Fair, the Melbourne Trade Fair and the Singapore Trade Fair
- These led to the establishment of distributorships in Europe, Australia/New Zealand and the U.S.A.
- The second & third generation Juans have expanded the plant’s capabilities from simply making jeep bodies and parts to military products, security products and truck vans & bodies
- Given the right quantity, MD Juan will tool up operations to fabricate the exact body part or accessories a customer wants, even the ones hardest to find!!
- MD Juan has also expanded its product line to include small parts details now in great demand among collectors and hobbyists.
- It has also expanded its civilian jeep line to include the YJ and the TJ series
