Suzuki’s headquarters are located in Hamamatsu (where it also opened a plant in 2018), and the company has domestic facilities in Kosai, Sagara, Osuka and Iwata. It also has factories in 18 countries outside of Japan, including India, China, Thailand and several more across Asia, plus Hungary, Brazil, Colombia and the USA. These facilities build the company’s broad range of cars, bikes, ATVs and other machinery. Suzuki sold 2.8m cars in 2021, a substantial 13 per cent increase on the previous year thanks to improved sales in India and elsewhere abroad that cancelled out a drop in the carmaker’s home arena.
