Saturday was a wonderful day celebrating 40 years in Morrison, TN. There have been many wonderful people that have worked and still work at Yorozu Automotive Tennessee, Inc. The day was made special by not only having current employee attend this celebration, but also past employees as well as federal, state and local elected leaders and local community leaders. We would like to give a special thanks to the following people who made this celebration even better.
- To all of the platform guests who not only took time out of their busy schedule to help us celebrate this milestone, but also their continued of support provided to Yorozu Automotive over the years. (Congressman Scott DesJarlais, Field Representatives for Marsha Blackburn Willard Goodman and Tyler Privette, TN Representative Paul Sherrell, Consul-General of Japan in Nashville Shinji Watanabe, Mayor of Morrison, TN - Sue Anderson, County Executive Warren County - Terry Bell, President of TCAT-McMinnville - Dr. Melody Edmonds, Executive Director - Warren County Industrial Development Board - Wendy Sneed)
- The team from GreenWave Solar (Founder & President Landon Cason, Lead Energy Advisor Creighton Stephens) for announcing the large environmental solar partnership between GreenWave Solar and Yorozu Automotive Tennessee.
- All of the colleagues both current and past who have worked and continue to work hard every day to make Yorozu the great company that it is today. Without you all, this day would have never been possible.
- Last, but definitely not least, President Chikao Hirata. He came to YAT in July of last year in which time he has brought a renewed spirit of open communication in all aspects of our business as well as strongly supporting improvements and growth while understanding that our colleagues are our number one asset.
While Yorozu took time to look back on our past achievements and accomplishments, we are even more excited about what the future holds for Yorozu Automotive. Here is to 40 more successful years!!
