It's taken 84 years and some of the most innovative thinking in the auto industry, but today, what started as a tiny cork manufacturer in Hiroshima , Japan , stands as a world leader in the production of commercial and passenger vehicles. Today, Mazda Motor Corporation, still based in Hiroshima, Japan, manufactures a diverse line of passenger cars and commercial vehicles and is one of the largest employers in western Japan (19,919 employees as of July 1, 2002).
Today, Mazda's heritage is bolstered by the efforts of its Global R&D Network, as well as some groundbreaking partnerships with other progressive forces in the automotive industry. |
