JAMA Members’ U.S. Presence
JAMA Members are Integral to the U.S. Economy and their Communities
Partnership
All across the United States, JAMA members and their employees work closely and collaboratively with local government, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to ensure they are good corporate citizens and are supporting the needs of the communities where they operate. These partnerships are critical to Japanese-brand automakers' success and longevity.
People
Japanese-brand automakers are committed to supporting their employees and communities. This not only includes investing in the future of America’s labor force but also through supporting their existing workforce, and the people in the communities where they operate.
Progress
Since establishing their first U.S.-based R&D and design facilities in the 1970s, JAMA members have driven innovation in critical vehicle technologies and focused on developing advanced vehicles to meet the needs of American drivers and families.
