Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. Announces New President
Former Executive Vice President Toru Muraki Appointed President

Brea, CA (5/30/2013) - Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. announces the appointment of former Executive Vice President Toru Muraki to President. Also as part of the restructuring, Takuya Sato is named Executive Vice President overseeing the companys marine operations.

Toru Murakis global motorcycle experience further positions Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. to succeed,  said  Tak Iwatsuki, Suzuki Motor of America, Incs Chairman. New product introductions, strong dealer support and care for the customer will remain our focus. And our leadership group is well-qualified to help us reach our goals.

I am eager to continue Suzuki Motor of Americas steadfast commitment to the powersports industry,  said Muraki.  An avid motorcyclist, Muraki joined Suzukis U.S. powersports business in 2010 to lead the Motorcycle / ATV Marketing efforts.  But his love for America began much earlier, during his first visit in 1987, where he visited much of the West Coast.

Tak was also pleased to announce, the appointment of Marine Industry expert, Takuya Sato.  Overseeing Suzukis Marine Operations in the U.S., Takuya Sato brings a background in engineering that will assist the companys already well-received outboard motors. The U.S. marine market is unique in the world,  said Sato, and I will help Suzuki continue to deliver industry-leading outboard technology to consumers interested in owning the best.

SMAI and its management team would like to thank outgoing President Seiichi Maruyama for his great leadership and wish him best of luck as he returns to SMC to take on new role within the companys European Automotive Business Operations.
