YEAR IN REVIEW
Strategic Alliance with General Motors Corporation
Suzuki has yielded solid results since its start of a strategic
business partnership with General Motors Corporation (GM) in
1981.
Expressing its individual strengths, both companies will
continue to create synergies by utilizing and complementing
the resources in the areas of advanced technology, CAMI
project, powertrains and global joint purchasing etc. especially,
and will proceed business collaborations in order to develop
better products more quickly with lower investment and to
introduce appropriate products into the global market at an
appropriate time.
Besides the partnership with GM, Suzuki has respective
partnerships with other car manufacturers. For example,
Suzuki supplies Mazda’s all mini-cars in OEM, Suzuki also
supplies multi-purpose-vehicle to Mitsubishi Motors in
Indonesia, and Suzuki has cross-OEM relationship with Nissan.
Suzuki purchases diesel engine-units from Peugeot/Citroen
and Renault, and moreover Suzuki supplies compact cars to
Fiat and Fiat provides Suzuki with technical/engineering
support for its diesel engines. Suzuki is flexibly implementing
various strategic collaborations with partners that complement
each other and creates synergies.
