The Heritage that Built Nissan
The name Nissan originated in Japan when founder Yoshisuke Aikawa became president of Nihon Sangyo in 1928 – a company primarily dealing in foundries and auto parts. Aikawa chose not to use a person's name as the company name, but instead based it on that of the parent group at the time of the company's founding. Nihon Sangyo, showed a determination to invigorate Japan's industry overall, rather than pursue personal profit. Nihon Sangyo debuted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by its ticker name NISSAN in 1933.
Since then, Nissan has been creating the kinds of cars that move people’s hearts. In our pursuit of this ideal, we have always challenged the limits of what is possible by rejecting assumptions and turning conventional wisdom on its head. Our history has seen us take on an endless series of challenges.
