We have received wonderful news from Morocco.
The cherry tree planted last May at the Kenitra Plant in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Morocco business bloomed back in April. The news came with the comment “this is a belated news of the cherry blossoms.”

The reassuring message from Morocco said, "With a climate different from Japan, and with an especially dry year, we were worried that it had died. We were unsure if cherry trees could grow in Morocco, or if it could withstand such an abnormal climate... In all honesty, we thought it may not survive, but our wishes came true with the blooming of such pretty flowers. We will follow the example of this cherry tree and strive to spread our business roots firmly into the grounds of Morocco."

The Moroccan business currently comprises seven plants and approximately 15,000 employees, and it is a linchpin of our group's European wiring harness business.

We wish health and prosperity for those working in Morocco, away from family and friends in a foreign land, and hope that they may, like the cherry tree, develop strong roots and bloom beautifully.
