With humble beginnings as a producer of cork, Mazda moved into manufacturing and released its first vehicle, the Mazda-Go Automatic Rickshaw, in 1931. Over the next century, it would go on to produce some of the world’s best-known automobiles, including the ever-popular Mazda3 and Mazda6 sedans.
The company has marked the occasion with an employee event at its headquarters in Hiroshima, Japan. At the anniversary event, attended by 500 people including executives and employees, Representative Director, President and CEO, Akira Marumoto, had this to say, “Mazda originated as a company producing cork and then took the path to manufacturing automobiles, now, our cars have found friends with many customers from over 130 countries and regions. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the customers, dealers suppliers, business partners, and the local community, who have supported us over the years through good and bad times, to whom we owe our 100 years of existence. As we look ahead to the next 100 years, we will continue to put people first and cherish our ‘uniqueness of co-creating with others.’. As we strengthen co-creation and cooperation with all those connected with the company, we will continue to challenge ourselves to create unique products, technologies, and experiences that our customers love.”
Celebrations will continue throughout the year, including an anniversary-themed display at the Geneva International Motor Show in March and a Mazda Open Day at Mazda’s headquarters, scheduled for May.
