Suzuki to consolidate business units

Japans Suzuki Motor Corporation plans to consolidate its U.S. motorcycle, marine and corporate operations under one company. The new company will be headed by American Suzuki Motor Corporation President Kinji Saito, who is replacing Rick Suzuki. According to Jeff Holland, a spokesman, It is ideal for all of our divisions to work more closely together, plan together and communicate together as a single company, rather than as separate business units.
