For over four decades, Japanese-brand automakers have steadily increased their investments in the U.S. and with dedicated engagement have made a recognizably positive impact on communites across the U.S.
A recap of this year’s Japan Mobility Show, where Japanese-brand automakers, startups, and suppliers showed that even after decades-long legacies, the Japanese auto industry still leads with innovation and is always finding new ways to move the industry forward.
While these automakers’ global headquarters are in Japan, their investments have created high-quality jobs and fulfilling careers for thousands upon thousands of hardworking Americans. This good-quality foreign direct investment has driven 40+ years of manufacturing and 50+ years of research and development and design.
With the annual SelectUSA Investment Summit underway this week, it is important to remember just why Japanese-brand automakers continue to ‘select’ the United States as an automotive production center.
