Mazda Seat Covers
Operating from Hiroshima in Japan, the Mazda Motor Company today has a global presence. Mazda vehicles are now available in North America, Latin America, Australia, Europe, and also in the domestic Japanese market. But the company was not known as Mazda forever - in the beginning the name was Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd - it was founded in 1920. Then the name changed to Toyo Kogyo Co. and finally the Mazda name was adopted in 1984. However the automobiles were always named Mazda, right from day 1.
The Ford Company from the US had taken over 15% of Mazda, but the company increased their stake to 33.4% in 1999 when Mazda had some financial problems. This relationship with Ford also helped Mazda to market its automobiles in the US market and spread their global reach. Thus it was a deal that helped both the automobile makers. Mazda have also had considerable success in the racing world.
