Obit from the other day: Osamu Suzuki, head of the motor company of his last name, died Christmas Day of last year. He died of lymphoma at the age of 94.
Snip with this interesting fact about his last name:
Not born with the name, Suzuki embraced it in the late 1950s when he wed Shoko Suzuki, taking on her family moniker and rising to lead the company founded by his wife’s grandfather, Michio Suzuki. In doing so, he helped turn the brand into a global name and, perhaps more notably, took a chance on establishing Suzuki in India, helping revolutionize the car industry there.
He began his career at the company in 1958, rising through its ranks before becoming president and CEO in 1978. One of his major focuses was to expand Suzuki into new markets. He established manufacturing plants in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, and elsewhere. Suzuki’s biggest move was bringing the company to India, where outdated, near obsolete vehicles dominated its landscape. His venture was not just a success, with the company all but controlling the market by the 1990s; it also helped set the stage for other auto manufacturers to locate there, too. Suzuki eventually expanded the company to 31 countries for manufacturing and 190 for sales.
