MAZDA MAZDA CENTENARY EDITORIAL 3 marks a very special occasion for Mazda: It is the year the com- 2020 pany is becoming a shinise. In Japan, this term is reserved for companies with an exceptionally long history and proud tradition. On Jan- uary 30th, Mazda’s 100th anniversary, we are joining this exclusive club – and what a hundred years it has been! In this time, we as a company have accomplished a lot. Mazda has turned itself from a manufacturer of cork products into an internationally recognised and successful independent automotive manufacturer. We have revitalised the rotary engine and have developed a host of our own ground-breaking technologies, including the latest Skyactiv-X, which is pushing the limits of the internal combustion engine and is already a great success. We have established a unique design language that marries Japanese tradition with contemporary style; human craftsmanship with modern production procedures. We have launched iconic mod- els which have been delighting fans for decades now. And we have won over the hearts of millions of loyal customers all over the world – not least here in Europe – and sold about 1,5 million cars in 2019.
