100 years of Suzuki

In 1909, Michio Suzuki founded his company “Suzuki Loom Works” in Hamamatsu, making large looms for the silk industry. On March 15, 1920, it was converted into “Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company”.

However, Michio Suzuki, anticipating a possible marketing need, then began to focus on the auto industry and in 1952, after World War II, he presented his first motorized bicycle to “Power Free”.

Built for low cost and easy maintenance, it used a 36cc two-stroke engine attached to the frame of a traditional bicycle, facilitating the mobility of the population.

This innovation gave rise to several other models, thus creating one of the most recognized companies in the world, Suzuki Motor Corporation.
