Suzuki at100
@DeanGbsn
THE year 1920 was a busy one. The League of Nations was founded, the island of Ireland was partitioned and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe horse race was first run. Meanwhile in Japan, a firm that provided machinery for Japan’s massive silk industry was incorporated. That firm? The Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company.
Fast forward a century (plus one year, thanks to the pandemic), and Suzuki UK celebrated the company’s 100th birthday by gathering all of its divisions together at one event for the first time. Why is that so special? Well, if you’re reading Auto Express, then you’ll already know about Suzuki’s cars, and you’re probably aware of its motorcycles, too. But did you know that it’s also a market leader for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and that it has a marine division
