The company moved from cork products and machinery into vehicle manufacturing and became especially known for rotary-engine development and driver-focused cars. This does not mean every Mazda product is manufactured in one country. International companies can operate factories and supply chains in many countries, so the most reliable source for a specific product is its label or manufacturer documentation.
