The Hero Group acquired the Swiss company in 1995 and expanded its portfolio to include baby food, jam and nutritional snacks.

It was incorporated on October 12, 1897. Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is a separate company that produces motorcycles and other vehicles. It was founded on July 1, 1955, by Genichi Kawakami, a former president of Yamaha Corporation.
The Yamaha brand trademark, YAMAHA, comes from the name of the founder, who pioneered the production of Western musical instruments in Japan. He was fascinated by Western science and technology and started his career as a watchmaker.

He delivered his prototype organ to the Music Institute in Tokyo, but it was criticized for its poor tuning. He then studied music theory and tuning and improved his organ.

Evolution of Suzuki

By 1954, Suzuki was producing 6,000 motorcycles per month and had officially changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. Building on the success of its motorcycles, Suzuki went on to create an even more successful automobile, the 1955 Suzuki Suzulight. The Suzulight featured innovative elements such as front-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering, which were considered groundbreaking at the time.

From 2009 to 2015, Volkswagen held a 19.9% non-controlling shareholding in Suzuki. However, this partnership did not continue due to disagreements between the companies. Suzuki accused Volkswagen of not sharing promised technology, while Volkswagen objected to Suzuki's decision to purchase diesel engines from Fiat. As a result, an international arbitration court ordered Volkswagen to sell back its stake in Suzuki. In September 2015, Suzuki completed the stock buy-back by paying $3.8 billion.

Vespa scooters are a brand of Italian luxury scooters and mopeds manufactured by Piaggio. The name Vespa means wasp in Italian, and it reflects the distinctive shape and sound of these vehicles. Vespa scooters have been around since 1946, and they have become a symbol of style, elegance and freedom.

History of Vespa:
Vespa scooters were born out of the need for affordable and practical transportation in post-war Italy. Enrico Piaggio, the son of the founder of Piaggio & Co. S.p.A., commissioned aeronautical engineer Corradino D’Ascanio to design a simple and comfortable scooter that could appeal to the masses. D’Ascanio, who disliked motorcycles, created a revolutionary vehicle that had a pressed steel unibody, a front fairing, a flat floorboard, a rear-mounted engine and a twist-grip gear change. The first model, the Vespa 98, was launched in 1946 and it was an instant success. Over the years, Vespa scooters evolved into different models and variants, such as the Vespa 125, the Vespa 150, the Vespa GS, the Vespa Rally, the Vespa PX, the Vespa ET, the Vespa LX and the Vespa GTS. Vespa scooters also gained popularity worldwide, thanks to their appearance in several Hollywood movies such as Roman Holiday, La Dolce Vita, Quadrophenia and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Today, Vespa scooters are still produced in Italy and in other countries such as India, Vietnam and Indonesia.
