Almazora Motors Corporation also known as Almazora, or AMC, is a truck and bus body manufacturer headquartered in Carmona, Cavite, Philippines. It was established in 1925. It is a leading bus body manufacturer in the Philippines.[1] [2]
The company's history dates back to 1900, when Canado Almazora sold horse-driven carriages under Carroceria de Almazora. In 1925, Perfecto Almazora, son of Canado, took over the company and evolved it into a manufacturer of passenger buses. The company is also responsible for making the Jardinera, a wooden made bus type with seven long benches in rows and two entry points. In 1968, Conrado handed the company to his son Cecilio.
Almazora Motors manufactures the "Family Business" (FB) variant of the Mitsubishi L300 van.
