I wasn’t sure it was the same Suzuki (it’s a common family name), but sure enough according to Wikipedia [1]: > In 1909, Michio Suzuki (1887–1982) founded the Suzuki Loom Works in the small seacoast village of Hamamatsu, Japan. Business boomed as Suzuki built weaving looms for Japan's giant silk industry. In 1929, Michio Suzuki invented a new type of weaving machine, which was exported overseas. The company's first 30 years focused on the development and production of these machines. Not only is it the same company, but it started out as a loom company! That being said, Suzuki Motor Corporation is actually a fairly small company (market cap ~$18.5B) that mainly sticks to building automobiles. Not to be confused with something like the Mitsubishi Group that provides a wide range of different products and services (automobiles, banking, home appliances, etc) under the same brand logo [2].
