December 26, 200619 yr Toyota (they made sewing machines before cars) Ahh, no. The family made automatic looms and still do. Toyota Industries Corp. (Toyota Shokki K.K., which actually means Toyota Automatic Loom Corp.) still makes forklifts, textile machinery and pumps, among other things. The auto business was spunoff long ago, although there are still cross-shareholdings (Toyota Jidosha owns 23.5% of Toyota Shokki and Toyota Shokki owns 5.5% of Toyota Jidosha) and Toyota Shokki still produces vehicles and engines for Toyota Jidosha (Toyota vehicles). The sewing machines are made by another affiliate, Aisin Seiki (23% Toyota Jidosha, 6.9% Toyota Shokki), the first in 1945/46, long after Toyota Jidosha started making cars. Opel made sewing machines before making cars. Edited December 26, 200619 yr by thegriffon
