All goods Mazda 

The Japanese company Mazda (Mazda Motor Corporation, 1927-1984 Toyo Kogyo Company) was founded by Jujiro Matsuda in Hiroshima. In 1920, Jujiro Matsuda and a group of investors bought the bankrupt company Abemaki, which was engaged in the production of building materials from balsa wood. The company was given a new name - Toyo Cork Kogyo and soon Matsuda became its head. The firm's involvement in cork helped to form the initial financial foundation for the further development of the company. In 1927, the company was renamed Toyo Kogyo., Ltd (the word "cork" - cork has disappeared), which is why the transition to industrial production followed. In the 1920s, the firm produced a trial batch of motorcycles, which did not produce the expected success, and in 1929 the main focus was the production of machine tools. In 1930, one of the motorcycles won the race, which sparked interest in the manufacturer's vehicles. In the 1930s, the company began to produce tricycles, for the most part similar to foreign ones. In 1931 the company received a new name - "Mazda" - the name of the supreme Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, which turned out to be consonant with the surname of the company's founder. In 1932, the export of trucks to China began. During the Second World War, the company supplied similar tricycles to the Japanese army. The first Mazda passenger car appeared only in 1960 - it was the R360 Coupe. Two years later, the first sedans Carol 360 and Carol 600 appeared. The export of Mazda cars to the European car market began in 1967, and in 1970 to the American one. Currently, Mazda's assembly plants in 21 countries allow it to export its cars to 120 countries around the world. The company works closely with Ford on development and sales strategy. In 2005, the company sold 1.15 million vehicles (in 2004 - 1.1 million). Mazda's two main factories are in Japan (in the cities of Hiroshima and Hofu) and 18 outside the country
