Takata Corporation
Takata doesn't take a backseat to safety. The company manufactures automotive parts such as seat belts; air bags; steering wheels; child safety seats; safety electronics such as crash sensors; interior parts such as head rests, arm rests, visors; and interior trims, fabrics, and textiles. For those who feel the need for speed, Takata also makes the five-buckle seat belts used by race car drivers. Takata was founded in 1933 as a textile company and applied its knowledge of military parachute harnesses to develop seat belts for Japanese cars. It now has 44 plants in 16 countries (nine plants are for R&D). Takata sells to nearly all of the world's major automakers; almost half of its sales come from the US.
