Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that accumulated production at Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation (MMVO) has reached 100,000 units. The milestone figure was achieved 11 months after production began at the company's new plant in Mexico in January 2014. The 100,000th car to come off the production line was a Mazda2 (known as Mazda Demio in Japan) bound for Europe.
The company has in October announced a production capacity increase to 250,000 units annually by the fiscal year ending March 2016
At a commemorative ceremony held on site, MMVO president and CEO Keishi Egawa said, "The production of one hundred thousand vehicles at MMVO is extremely significant, and we could not have done it without the support of our customers, our suppliers, and our employees, as well as that of the federal and local governments. We see this achievement as a milestone on our road towards achieving our mission of making MMVO one of the most important strategic locations in Mazda's global manufacturing footprint. Moving forward, we are committed to continue delivering high quality vehicles to Mazda's fans all around the world."
